Last Friday night my family and I headed on over to Olive Garden for dinner. Not only because I love their soup, salad and breadsticks, but also because we wanted to check out their Buy One, Take One offer.

Olive Garden

What’s their “Buy One, Take One offer” you ask? For only $12.99, you get to select a dish from their Buy One, Take One dish options (there are five of them) and then you choose a second entrée (that is freshly prepared and chilled) to take home.

Olive Garden B1G1 Offer

You get to choose from:

  • Fettuccine Alfredo
  • Smoked Mozzarella Chicken
  • Spaghetti with Four Cheese Meat Sauce
  • Mezzaluna Ravioli with Five Cheese Marinara
  • Five Cheese Ziti al Forno

I chose the Spaghetti with Four Cheese Meat Sauce which was delicious!

My hubby chose the Mezzaluna Ravioli with Five Cheese Marinara and he really enjoyed it!

The cool thing is the the entree you take home does not have to be the one you ordered at the restaurant. But since my hubby and I really enjoyed what we ordered we did order the same thing for our take home dish.

Each of those dishes are served with unlimited homemade soup or garden-fresh salad along with unlimited breadsticks…yummy! The only problem is that it is so good that I have a hard time stopping myself from eating way too much of it and filling up.  Hopefully, you have better self control than I do.

So if you are look for dinner ideas that are budget friendly and worth the money, go check Olive Garden and their Buy One, Take One Offer!

*Disclosure: My family and I were provided with an Olive Garden gift card to go and check out their Buy One, Take One Offer.  However, ALL opinions are my own.  There’s no faking my love for their soup and salad.
