I found Skweez this week and had to share it with you. It was created by a local entrepreneur and through it you can get discounts on local Salt Lake City restaurants by way of texts.

Skweez sends text message coupons to its database of opt-in subscribers. The actual service, known as the “Daily Skweez,” consists of one text message per day, informing you of a killer deal in your area. Although the minimum discount is 25 percent off, the vast majority of the texts are “buy one get one free” or 50 percent off. To redeem the coupon, a subscriber must simply show the text message to the waiter, waitress or cashier. It takes about 10 seconds to subscribe and it’s free (standard text message rates apply). Just head to www.skweez.com to sign up (you may also send a text message containing your zip code to signup@skweez.com — yes, all phones can text an email address). Once subscribed, you can unsubscribe at any time by replying “no” or “stop” to any of the texts and you will be deleted from the database. Some previous deals include “50% off wings at Wing Coop,” “Buy 1 sandwich Get 1 Free at Jason’s Deli,” “Buy 1 Jamba Juice Get One Free” and “50% off Select Sushi at Pagoda.”

I’ve been told that the more people they have sign up, the better the deals will be.

Happy eating!
