If you go to the Chuck E. Cheese website and sign up for their mailing list, they will send you some really great coupons.
Was going to say the same thing. When we first signed up they sent us some great coupons, but they were only good for a couple of weeks so be careful. We could go back later and request more, but they weren't quite as good as the initial sign up ones.
Put in your family's birthdays too and they will mail you out additional coupons.
We did a party there about a month ago on a Sunday night. It worked out really well. I think we ended up somewhere around 25 people 1/2 adults and 1/2 kids. I ended up using 4 coupons for Large (any) Pizza, 4 drinks, and ?? tokens. Each coupon was around $25. Then I added A couple of cheese pizzas and kids drinks (since that was a better deal without the coupon)
I also had a coupon for tokens, buy 40 for $10 and get 60 free (it was the initial coupon offer, which when you go back is spend $15 to get 100.
If you're a real bugeteer like me, round up your coupons, get there early and figure out what works best. Again what I found was that a cheese pizza and 4 kids drinks was a better deal then the coupon... but a large specialty and 4 adult drinks (plus the tokens) was better w/ the coupon.
Also, we ended up with a pizza left over (at $15 a pop that hurt a little) but they are usually quick with the pizzas there so you can alway order light and add on during the meal.
Sorry if I confused you.... cuz I kinda confused myself!
