Joe the Coupon Guy has so many deals for free and discounted food that this Family isn't just Frugal, it's also well fed.

1. PURPLE SHAMROCK

Deal: The Purple Shamrock at Shoregate Shopping Center in Willowick is running a promotion throughout the NBA playoffs called, “Heat Lose, You Eat Like a King.”

For patrons who are there at the opening tip of a Miami playoff game and stay until the end, the restaurant will pick up the food tab if the Heat get beat. After they beat the Celtics, I sure hope the Bulls will help give away some free meals.

And I wonder if the team playing against them is up by a good amount in the fourth quarter does that mean people just jam in some more food orders before the game ends. I might have to make my way up there. 

2. BUFFALO WILD WINGS

Deal: Get six free wings when you buy a Red Baron pizza during happy hour, which is 3 to 7 p.m.

3. QUAKER STEAK & LUBE

Deal: Speaking of wings... Look for deals from Valpak to get:

• $5 off a $25 purchase
• a free kids meal with adult entree purchase
• a buy-one-get-one-half-off lunch
• all-you-can-eat wings for $12 from 4 to 10 p.m. on Tuesdays

4. CARIBOU COFFEE

Deal: This is Indians country but, if you crave Caribou Coffee, I guess it's OK to root for the Minnesota Twins. Text TWINS to 80565 and receive special offerss, including $1 coffee, after every Twins win.

5. BORDERS

Deal: No, it's not food; and, yes, our Borders closed. But that doesn't mean we still can't get some great deals. Get 40 percent off any one item at Borders.com using coupon code BVV9639M.
