Allied Arts

I hope you all know about the OKCityCard, not only because it benefits Allied Arts, but because it’s the best Central Oklahoma discount card out there.

Not familiar? Here the deal – If you donate $50 or more to Allied Arts, you can choose to receive an OKCityCard. The OKCityCard is an entertainment discount card that offers reduced rates at arts events, as well as at top retail and restaurant locations. Right now the card offers discounts at more than 140 hot spots. Check out more information here: www.okcitycard.com. 

Confession – I’m a girl that loves to make smart shopping decisions. While the CityCard was technically a donation, I’m obsessed with making my $50 back through the discounts. So, I started tallying every time I saved. And then I challenged my fellow blogger, Bailey, to do the same.

Hence the CityCard competition was born. We’ll keep you all posted on how much we’re saving and who’s saving more. We’re hoping it will inspire you to A. get your own CityCard (hint, hint) and B. put it to good use!

I got my CityCard in September and check out my savings so far – I’ve already surpassed $50!
