After 5 hours of cleaning our "messy (bonus) room"without our kids pestering us, the hubby and I decided to reward them by going out for some ice cream. We went to Cold Stone Creamery on Talmadge Rd. They offer nearly a dozen different flavors of ice cream, and more than a dozen add-ins (sprinkles, candy pieces, gummy bears....) Seasonal flavors are also offered and that's what I got- pumpkin cheesecake with graham cracker crumbs! This is definitely the type of place that you do not consider your caloric consumption. Just enjoy! As usual the ice cream was delicious, however, overpriced.
A family of four would ordinarily pay about $12. With the Entertainment Book, we were able to save quite a bit, making our visit more reasonable. We used 2 coupons: a free kids ice cream (savings of $1.99) and 2 Like It size ice creams for $5. I would definitely go back again in the winter time, since this is one of the only places around here that offers ice cream in the winter (Baskin Robbins, Handles and Charlie's on Sylvania Ave are three other local places). During the summer time I would be hard pressed to justify going there. Toledo has plenty of ice cream parlors that offer delicious soft-serve ice cream for about $4 for a family of 4.
Our Bill:$10.58
Savings: $3.59
Total Savings: $38.58
A good tip for you: If you sing a song when ordering your ice cream, you get a free waffle bowl!
You also get a free Like It size ice cream on your birthday when you join their Birthday Club- nothing beats free ice cream!!!
