On behalf of Bistro in a Box Catering Company, I am writing to inform you that we are no longer offering a discount for City of Decatur employees. However, we will extend our Agnes Scott College discount to Decatur blog owners if they come by and introduce themselves.

I can’t wait for all the emails from city employees asking if they can accompany me to Bistro in a Box posing as my spouse.

Zombies may want to eat your brains, but through Sunday they can also save you money!

Pssst.. the password is…

It’s hot on Church Street, and it’s gotten to us a little bit. We looked up from our screens and decided it was time for a little blog-inspired fun.

Through the close of business on Sunday, the right password will get you 15% off on your purchase at Mingei World Arts and/or Taste on Church Street. Need to finish your Father’s Day shopping? Have a wedding gift to buy? Come visit one of these two businesses and give us the secret Decatur Metro password as you check out. Your password is “zombies”. We are contacting other bloggers with other passwords, so show your Metro spirit and let the zombies help you save a little over the next few days. It will be interesting to see which blog readers come in!

What a great idea!

I say take it one step further and instead of just giving the word at checkout, explode into the store yelling “zombies!!”, then eye everyone in the store suspiciously before taking off down the street with arms flailing.  Then come back later – in a slightly more composed fashion – for your much-deserved discount.

Jeff and Greg of Whit’s End send along info on a new “club” they’ve just started…

On your next stop in to the store to purchase something, let us know you want to join our Frequent Shoppers Club. For every $250 pretax dollars you spend, we will reward you with a $25 gift certificate/store credit which will be good for 6 months. No need to do anything but let us know, we will keep track of everything.

Spring items are here, and more is arriving weekly. The remaining winter items are so discounted, it hurts! So, come and get em! For a limited time, if you buy a clearance item, we will give you 10% off your purchase of a new spring item.
