RTownShopper.com is the website for you!

If your life needs just a little spice

Check out our newly featured restaurant, Venue

They have 20 Different Burgers on the menu!

If you feel like you’re having a boring week,

Take your family camping at Deer Creek

Go see the Timber Rattlers when they play the Burlington Bees

Or just watch the game at Big D’s

If you love to golf, check out the Royal Scot Golf Course and Supper Club

Check out Steve Nuthals Massage Therapy for a good rub

Let your little ones try out martial arts

And the older ones will be thrilled to ride go-karts

There is a secret keyword hidden in this poem

You may use this if you’re cooking dinner at home

First, make sure everything is covered; you’ve asked her father’s permission for her hand in marriage, you’ve planned out the romantic getaway, the car is packed, and you’ve arranged for Lovin’ Pets to take care of your pooch while you’re away.

The first activity for this special weekend is Serenity Day Spa and Salon where you’ll both relax with a one-hour massage, facial, sugar scrub, and rain forest shower.

After she feels rejuvenated, take her to get her hair professionally done at Royal Hair Designs, because you know she’ll want to look nice for your next activity. Next stop is to visit photographer Debbie Daanen to ensure this day is remembered forever.

Finally, it’s time to check into your room at Sybaris, the perfect romantic getaway spot. Waiting in the room is a gorgeous arrangement of flowers from Belle Fiori.

Dinner reservations are at 8 so you both rush to get ready for dinner at Millhome Supper Club where their mission is to “give you a dining experience that is second to none…”

After dinner, she may find it strange that she’s all dressed up for the night of bowling you’ve planned at the 10th Frame, but she goes along with it. As she gets ready to bowl and puts her fingers in the appropriate holes, a ring slips onto her finger. You’re already down on one knee behind her as she turns around, nodding her head yes.

Even though RTownShopper.com is already sold out of Lifest tickets, they’re still available at the Lifest website. And if you can’t buy tickets, volunteer! All you have to do is apply online. A 4.5 hour shift will get you access to the entire event. And when you’re in Oshkosh for Lifest, RTownShopper.com is a great resource to get discount restaurant gift certificates or even find a place to stay with our discount lodging gift certificates.

At RTownShopper.com, we love our customers and in turn we want our customers to love our site. Our customers come back time and time again for the amazing deals we offer. You can find so many incredible deals ranging from discount festival tickets to discount dining gift certificates to discount hotel gift certificates. RTownShopper.com is where you can get more bang for your buck by saving 50% off at hotels, restaurants, golf courses, salons and more.

What about all of that money you spend at restaurants? According to bundle.com the average American spends nearly $300 a month dining out.

That’s $3,600 a year! At RTownShopper.com, we think that spending money should be rewarded and if you were to spend $3,600 a year on RTownShopper.com we would give you $100 towards another purchase on the site. Loyalty is important to us, so that $100 is a currency only RTown will accept, we call that currency RTown points. Remember, you can’t use dollars and RTown currency together. That would be like trying to use a Monopoly money and dollar bills together at a restaurant to pay the bill…

We appreciate our users and therefore, want to reward them. Every $15 dollars you spend on our site, you’ll earn 50 points.

= 50 RTown points

If you spend $25 we’ll bump up the rewards to 250 points, spend $50 and we’ll go all out and gift you with 1,000 points, add $25 to that $50 and you’ll earn 2,000 points. Hey big spender, spend $100 and you’ll be rolling in the points with 3,000 big ones.

What do these points mean, you ask? Accumulate points to earn money towards future RTown purchases. Once you earn at least 6,000 points you can use them to make a purchase. Get this! When you sign up with us, as a token of our appreciation, we’ll give you 5,000 starter points. That means purchase a discount gift certificate on our site for at least $50 and you’ll have enough points to start redeeming them.

For example purchase a discount golf certificate, like the fabulous Black Bear Golf Course and you’ll earn 1,000 points which will bring your total up to 6,000 points.

Once you reach 6,000 points you can use those points to purchase a discount certificate that is equal to or less than $6 on the site. Our best advice is to wait until you’ve racked up enough points to play a round of golf on us, get a massage or even a nice dinner with your honey.

This week, we are doing a special promotion in honor of Father’s Day, receive 10% off of everything purchased on the site. Buy dad something special and while you’re at it, get something for yourself too!

You must use the special promo code that we’ll be announcing to our Facebook fans soon.

The last notes have been studied, the final paper has been written, and the last essay question has been answered. Fox Valley graduates have earned their degrees, and it is finally time for family and friends to witness the transition.

If you’re traveling to Appleton, Green Bay or Oshkosh for the ceremony, check out RTownShopper.com for hotel travel discounts and gift certificates for the college graduate in your life. We also feature nearly 60 Fox Valley restaurant coupons for dining in the area.

As your graduate files in to the chords of Pomp and Circumstance, you know that the graduation march began years ago, and walking across the stage to receive a handshake and degree is merely the first steps of a new chapter.

As the ceremony concludes, they will move their tassel from right to left and earn a rousing round of applause for their achievement. No matter what grades or class rank they received as students, every one has now reached the proud goal of college graduate.
