I had one hour lunch break from work. Glad there is a Corner Bakery Cafe right around the corner. I brought a book and enjoyed a quiet lunch by myself.


Chicken Tortilla Soup w/Tortilla Strips

I got a soup/salad combo. The combo cost about $8. The soup I picked was Chicken Tortilla Soup. It also came with a piece of ciabatta bread.

I had a $25 for Sunday Champagne Brunch for Two at Orange County Mining Co. Groupon. They open at 9:30am for brunch, and we made a reservation at 9:30am because we want to get a window seat for the view.



We got there right at 9:30am. There were already quite a few parties there ready to feast on Sunday morning.

[Laguna Hills] [Japanese] You & I Sushi

I was hungry, and I want sushi. So I suggested to have all you can eat sushi for dinner. We found a nearby AYCE sushi place called You & I Sushi. The reviews on Yelp seemed good enough. But our experience wasn't as good as the reviews.



They offered a pretty standard all you can eat sushi menu for $24.95/person. They have a one hour rule that you can only eat for one hour. They didn't really reinforce that when we were there, but I didn't like that rule at all. Even though it's all you can eat, I still wish I can take my time, eat slowly, and enjoy the food.

[Newport Beach] [Japanese] Benihana

Last time I went to Benihana in City of Industry with my family, we had one of the worst dining experience ever. They offered me $100 gift certificate to use in any Benihana after I complained to their corporate headquarter. We decided to try Newport Beach Benihana this time hoping service would be much better, and it was! We had a great dinner at this location.



Their parking lot is very small, and it was completely full when we got there. We just parked at the big parking lot across the street. Really glad we made reservation and didn't have to join the crowd waiting for a table at the front lobby.

[Lake Forest] [Fast Food] Wing Stop

I bought a $13 for Wingstop 35-Wing Family Pack ($27 Value) from Plum District. $13 for 35 wings, celery & carrot sticks, seasoned fries, and 3 dipping sauces sounded like a great deal to me! Plus both Dr. P and I love chicken wings.



There were a few customers dining in, but most people come in for to-go orders. Also a lot of people called in to order ahead for pick up. The girls who worked at the counter were friendly and helpful.

Coupon Shopping at PetSmart

Did you know you can use coupons at PetSmart? I didn't even know that until a few weeks ago. If you have pets, then you know how expensive pet food, treats, toys are. So I tried coupon shopping at PetSmart for the first time, and the save was amazing. I bought $80 worth of doggie things and only paid $9!! I love couponing, and I think Teddy and Twinkle love it, too.

I need to catch up on my blog posts so I can post current sale and coupon offering. :-(
