Return visits to Patty's Cafe + The Brew Spot with Cathy

I was able to meet up with my good friend Cathy of mmm-yoso earlier this morning...

After a miscommunication on my part, we met up at the "correct" breakfast spot...

Revisits to Butler's and Clockwork Coffee Shoppe

TC had a school function so it was a morning date for us...

utilizing one of my newer coupons in the Entertainment Value book (it's so worth it)...

Breakfast would be here first...

Sandwiches from Santos Coffee House, Subterranean, Corner Bakery Cafe and Caffe Italia

It's been awhile...

Bert and I had time to kill while TC was volunteering...

Return to Cucina Basilico & Gelato Vero Caffe + dramatic clouds

Last  night Bert and I had night out on our own...

(H St offramp to 805 N)

TC was doing volunteer service at a local Fall Festival...

and was looking forward to helping out with the game booths with her friends...

Return to Caffe Italia

Before heading back, we made a quick stop near the sign...

to Caffe Italia to make use of a coupon I've had since last year...

Sandwich Bags Deli

Sometime last month Bert and I made the trip up to Santee (aka Cathy's 'hood)...

I had some coupons to use and decided to try to kill three or four birds with one stone...

In this stripmall  with a "wide variety" of services...

Sucky noodles from Noodles + return to the Cravory, an almost coupon fail at Sunshine Smoothie & return to Boll Weevil

I think I'm done now with this place...

Noodles & Company. I totally made the same mistake twice...

Return to Ra Ka De Ka and tortas from Tropical Fruit Paradise

During the break, TC and I went to one her favorite Thai fast food places...

which was also near a few other places I wanted to hit up that day...

Jalapeno Taqueria & Nestle once again

A few weeks ago, I had to go to the mall to do a few returns. While here, TC and I enjoyed a small snack at Jalapeno Taqueria...

which is at the westernmost end of the mall near REI and Fruit & Beyond...

Coupon Hits & 1 Fail...

I had to buy TC some makeup for dance so it was off to Macy's Mac counter.  While there, we used one of the newer coupons in the Entertainment Value book...

If you buy this, you also get extra online coupons by using their app, which is pretty cool. It's like doubling your investment...

Coupon two-fer - Subterranean for breakfast and return to Santos Coffee House

A few days after TC and I were in North Park, Bert and I had our "turn"....

wanting to give breakfast a try at Subterranean on 30th...

El Indio & Return to Meshuggah Shack

If you've ever driven in Mission Hills, parallel to the 5, you may have seen El Indio's iconic signage with the now-politically incorrect Indian.

After all, that's what "El Indio" is..."The Indian".

El Indio has been around since 1940 and is considered one of San Diego's iconic eateries. I haven't been here in years and my lunch adventure with TC took us here only because I couldn't find parking where I wanted in Little Italy (our original destination) and then, like a doofus, got lost on the one way streets and ended up on the freeway, so...
