If you love eating out at Olive Garden – but your wallet doesn't – here are some current Olive Garden specials to save you money!

The BEST Olive Garden Specials

If you're heading out to Olive Garden, be sure to take advantage of their latest special – the SUPER popular Never Ending Pasta Bowl!

This starts on August 26, but eClub members can start enjoying the promo now (look for an email that mentions early access!).  Enjoy multiple combinations of your favorite pasta, sauce, and toppings – and of course it always comes with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks 🙂

Also, keep in mind the $6 Take Home Entrees are still available.  This is such a great way to get an extra meal for a quick dinner or lunch – and with the prices today, you can't beat a $6 take out meal!

For just $6, Olive Garden offers up 5 Take Home Entrees with the dine-in purchase of any entree!  Even with the $1 increase in the take home offer from previous months, this is still a really nice deal. 

You can choose from

• Fettuccine Alfredo, Five Cheese Ziti al Forno, or Spaghetti with Meat Sauce. 
• Officially there is not salad and breadsticks included in this offer, but many times when we have been there, the waitress will throw a few in anyway.
• Also please note there are no substitutions available with this offer

They also have FAMILY meals available now – each pan serves 4 – 6 people.  You can choose from Lasagna, Salad and Breadsticks, Chicken Alfredo, Chicken Parmigiana, Shrimp Alfredo, Spaghetti, and more!

But what to do when you're determined to pinch those pennies? (No matter HOW much you love fettuccine Alfredo…)  Besides making your own Olive Garden Pasta Fagioli Soup in the Crockpot or using Olive Garden coupons – here are a few more ways to save!

💡Pro Tip: If you order a take out meal at Olive Garden, you can still get the $6 take home entree special with your order.  That's a great way to save on an extra dinner or lunch! 

9 Olive Garden Specials We Love

1 .  Olive Garden Kids Eat for $1

This used to come around about once a month (it's been quite a bit more scattered since 2020) and it's a GREAT time to take the family out! (If you can hold off that long).  The $1 Kids Meals at Olive Garden is good for 2 children 10 and under, per paying adult. (You'll need to show the server the coupon from your email – if you don't get Olive Garden Emails sign up here!)

You'll want to sign up for Olive Garden emails to get notified when this deal comes around.

2 .  Olive Garden Buy One Take One Promo

This special has always been hugely popular, but it's recently changed just a little.  The new details of this deal are as follows:

Buy one entree (any entree! Even a $6.99 lunch duo!) in the restaurant, and get another entree (dinner-size portion) to take home for only $6.  It will be packed up cold and come with heating instructions – so you can have a nice lunch later in the week.  PPP Team member Staci said this about it:

Worked great when we went to see my college girl as we left her with the take one dinners so she had pasta galore!

3 . FREE Appetizer or Dessert

Sign up for the Olive Garden eClub and you'll receive a coupon in your inbox for a FREE Appetizer or Dessert with the purchase of 2 adult entrees.  Don't sit on it too long though because it expires within 2 weeks!

TIP: You can use this coupon over and over for the WHOLE two weeks – just show it on your phone and it will be valid until it's expiration date. Woohoo!

*ALWAYS AVAILABLE!

4 . CHEAP Dinner Duos

If you can get everyone rounded up and out of the door early – you can take advantage of Olive Garden's Menu of early dinner duos!  Monday through Thursday, from 3 – 5 pm you can get an $8.99 – $9.99 entrée along with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks.
