Stretching Your Dollars

If you've got any left to stretch, that is. Here's a few local 'deals' that I've seen.

For casual atmosphere socializing after work, try Bennigan's at Latson & Grand River in Howell for $2 pints of domestic draft beer - and they have full pint glasses. They also have a nice selection of happy hour appetizers running from 3-7 pm and then again 9pm - closing. On Thursday evenings they have $1 bottle beer (domestic).

Just a stone's throw away from Bennigan's is Los Tres Amigos, who offer $1 domestic drafts M-F, and if you go there on a Monday, you can get $1 tacos, too. Hard shell, beef only, but what a great bargain - and a tasty one. Good for dine-in or take-out, by the way, so here's a cheap Monday dinner idea for you.

In Brighton? Try Stout's Irish Pub for an every day happy hour of $2 domestic drafts (12 or 14 oz glasses) and discounted 'premium' drafts. Wednesdays are $3 burger days - and this is a pretty good burger.

Want to golf? Faulkwood Shores Golf Club, Hawk Meadows and Chemung Hills Golf Club (all in Howell) have $18 for 18 with cart, weekdays senior rate. Faulkwood is age 55 and over for senior, Chemung Hills is 50 and over. Faulkwood also publishes some coupons for 18 holes w/cart for $16.75 - you can find them in the Val Pak mailing or sometimes in the Detroit Newspapers coupons in the golf area of the Sports section.
Chemung Hills is also a good deal to hit a large bucket of balls, just $6! Nice practice putting green, too.
