Julie says:

I currenlty live in De Pere and like to try new restaurants as they open. Keeping the business local helps the economy and maintains a good balance of options available in the area. But beyond that I would love to celebrated Valentines Day with my husband at The Cellar on the Fox. The menu looks wonderful, and the extras included in the Valentines day package are exceptional. A romantic evening out and away from my day to day routine would be awesome!

Clipping paper coupons?

You send email, read online news, and shop web sites, but when it comes to coupons, are you still clipping?

As a mom, you want to save money for your family, but getting the best coupon deals takes a lot of time. The truly dedicated – and you know who you are – scan advertisements for sales and save paper coupons until a special offer comes along. While this method works, some retailers won’t allow coupons to be applied to marked-down specials. There’s definitely an art to it. It takes a lot of time to save 25% to 30%.

Well mom, we make it easy. There are no papers to sort and organize, no books or fliers to page through, no envelopes of coupons to keep track of. It’s all right here on RTownShopper.com. Save time as you search only the categories that appeal to you. Looking for pizza for pizza night? Or how about family fun day? Maybe you and the hubby are going for a nice dinner for date night…or you are finally going to take time to pamper yourself.

Best of all, our time-saving internet coupons are always 50% off, or more!

As an eco-friendly bonus, you print only the discount gift certificates you buy, so there’s less paper waste. And you shop local – RtownShopper.com features retailers in your own community. Save time, save money, save a tree. Stop clipping and shop RTown!

Northeast Wisconsin Moms, have you saved time or money with RTownShopper? Tell us how!

A tunnel of fall color on a Wisconsin rustic road

No matter how many times we’ve seen it before, the change of seasons from summer to fall is one of nature’s greatest shows in Wisconsin.

Highlights of rust and orange wash over the deep green of treetops across the state. Vibrant gold canopies line rustic roads and join overhead in a tunnel of color. The white steeples of country churches and stout red barns dot tall bluffs ablaze with color, overlooking brilliant valleys. Wisconsin’s many lakes mirror a hazy reflection of jewel-toned sky, birch, and maple alongside a stand of waving cattails. Then there’s the forest floor, where bright red sumac parades across golden yellow prairies, ferns and grasses take refuge under auburn oaks, and leaves crunch beneath your feet.

For the latest updates for fall colors, check out Travel Wisconsin’s fall color report. Communities around the state report peak color conditions, recommend scenic routes, and discuss local activities and happenings. Finish your free leaf-viewing tours with discount gift certificates from Rtownshopper.com. We’ll get you there with hotel travel coupons in 19 cities and numerous discount restaurant coupons for dinner and a “show.” Autumn’s show comes for free, but it’s here for just a short time before it’s gone.

Where’s your favorite place to view Wisconsin’s fall colors?

When visiting family in the Eau Claire or Menomonie area, use our discount coupon for the Country Hearth Inn. We’ll do the math – this discount lodging gift certificate saves you 50% on the price of a one-night stay!

The Country Hearth Inn is located on Hwy 85 between Hwy 12 and Interstate 94 for convenient access to both UW-Eau Claire and UW-Stout in Menomonie. Enjoy a complimentary breakfast to start your day, and when your campus tour is done, relax in the impressive pool area. This discount offer is a smart choice for savings!

Regardless of why you enjoy watching it, circle track racing is an American favorite and one of Northeast Wisconsin’s premier racetracks is Shawano Speedway. Located on the Shawano County Fairgrounds, this half-mile dirt oval entertains fans every Saturday night from April to September with five divisions of racecars. Classes include the low-cost, crash-happy IMCA stock cars, chopped and customized IMCA modifieds, and the lighting quick, high-output IMCA late models.

Tickets at the gate are already reasonable, but RTownShopper has discounted gift certificates for two adult tickets or family-size packages to a mudslinging, heart-pumping evening at Shawano Speedway. Also, be sure to check out the deals RTownShopper has for Shawano, Wisconsin-area restaurants so you can fuel up before the engines roar and the green flag drops.
