Kids Eat Free after 4 p.m. all summer at Open Door Cafe

I saw this sign outside the Open Door Cafe while I was on my way to return some DVDs to Blockbuster the other day. I called the restaurant and learned that this Kids Eat Free after 4 p.m. deal is scheduled to last all summer. The deal is for children 12 and under who order from the kids menu and and are dining with a paying adult. BANV & family have eaten here several times and enjoyed it. We like to go for Mother's Day. The restaurant has a lot of fun murals that evoke a Parisian street. We've always enjoyed the food. It's been awhile since I've been there, but I if I remember correctly, their pasta dishes have had a gourmet twist to them. I think my kids had grilled cheese the last time we went.

Ice Cream Hut offers sundae deal on Sundays

The Ice Cream Hut behind Redner's in Hickory offers sundaes for $3.50 on Sundays. My family has tried and enjoyed their peach, birthday cake and fried ice cream flavored ice creams. They also offer soft serve ice cream, snowballs, Italian ice, ice cream sodas, shakes and sundaes.

A gallon of 1% milk is $3.47 at Redners Warehouse Markets in Hickory

It may cost you a little more in gas to get to the new Redner's Warehouse Markets store that opened last month in the Hickory Village Shopping Center, but you may be able to make it up on savings on groceries. I'm pretty sure they have the best price on milk in the Bel Air area. I picked up a gallon of 1% for $3.47 last week. Yesterday, the same gallon cost me $3.75 at Weis.
