Good news, Stillwater! There are some great ongoing deals and offers at local spots, whether you’re food-curious, fashion-savvy, or grocery shopping for less. Here’s your round-up of ways to save while supporting the businesses that make our town special.
Food & Drink Specials to Savor
The Grand Pizza downtown has you covered with family meal bundles. Think $20 for a 14″ specialty pizza, specials like “cheese + appetizer” combos mid-week, and pizza + wings packages on the weekend—all good for carryout and online orders. Perfect for a weeknight win.
Matchstick Restaurant & Spirits brings farm-to-table flavor and unique drink offerings. Their happy hour runs weekdays from about 3 to 5 pm with specials on drinks and small plates. If you enjoy dinners that emphasize local sourcing, this one’s a treat.
Groceries & Markets: Stretching Every Dollar
River Market Community Co-op, on Main Street North, regularly runs sales in every department, especially fresh produce, meat, and cheese. Mark your calendar: the last Friday of each month gives you 10% off fresh items, and the second Wednesday offers discounts on wellness & body care products. Plus, the quarterly Owner Appreciation Event adds extra savings for co-op members.
Brine’s Market & Deli has weekly ads and deals, especially in their deli & bakery sections. Want dinner made easy? Their in-store weekly lunch calendar can help you plan ahead without burning the budget.
Boutiques & Shops That Give More for Less
Mainstream Boutique Stillwater is offering $20 off every $100 spent and has clearance selections currently at ~40% off. If you’ve been eyeing something special, now may be the time. They also offer free local pickup and periodic live-video style showcases with exclusive deals announced for viewers.
Shop Downtown Discount Card Program is a neighborhood-friendly gem: buy a discount card, then unlock special offers at participating stores across downtown Stillwater. It’s a win-win—support local while getting perks just for being loyal.
Tips to Maximize Local Savings
- Follow your favorite businesses on social media or join their email lists; many post flash deals & loyalty rewards there first.
- Time your shopping: produce-heavy buy days, end-of-day markdowns, and weekday specials often offer the steepest markdowns.
- Pair spending with events—happy hours, concerts, or market days—when many shops sweeten their deals.
- Support small businesses—your patronage helps keep the local economy strong, and many small business owners offer personalized deals when you’re a regular customer.
Whenever you hear of a new deal in town—drop me a note; happy to share those too. Until then, enjoy the savings and the feels of staying local.
