Jayme purchased a bag of breadsticks, one salad and two bowls of baked ziti for a grand total of $17.59.
‘All of that for $17.59 with taxes? Oh yes please,’ the TikToker wrote in her video description.
Jayme’s video has received more than 45,000 views, and a TikTok user who commented on the video was convinced to purchase food from Olive Garden.
A TikToker named Jayme posted a video under her handle @christinabeee on April 25 and talked about an easy Olive Garden hack when ordering a ToGo meal
Jayme purchased a bag of breadsticks, one salad, and two bowls of baked ziti from Olive Garden during its lunch hours for a grand total of $17.59
The TikToker, who ordered her lunch meal to go, managed to get a great deal on her Olive Garden menu items, and she hinted that more than one of the restaurant’s deals were applied to her order.
‘Go to Olive Garden, go get the lunch special from 11:00 to 3:00,’ Jayme said, explaining her process.
One of the restaurant chain’s ToGo deals offers guests to choose one of three classic entrees – Five Cheese Ziti al Forno, Fettuccine Alfredo and Spaghetti with Meat Sauce – and get another one for $6.
The restaurant chain also offers its guests one of five different entrees – Spaghetti with Marinara or Meat Sauce, Fettuccine Alfredo, Eggplant Parmigiana, Cheese Ravioli with Marinara or Meat Sauce and Five Cheese Ziti al Forno – for $9.99 with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks.
So by ordering the $9.99 deal with the ziti, Jayme revealed she was then able to employ the buy-one-get-one-free deal, which also included the ziti, for $6.
Jayme confirmed in her video’s comment section that she used Olive Garden’s ToGo curbside pickup and ordered her food online
Other TikTokers praised Jayme for showing them the Olive Garden hack and have written down their own similar hacks in the comment section.
A few TikTokers had follow-up questions for Jayme, who responded to multiple comments.
Other hacks that TikTokers wrote about were things they do during lunch and dinner.
‘What I usually do is I do an order online then add the six dollar take-home. I usually do that twice so you get four containers of pasta that usually lasts one to two days along with breadsticks,’ one person wrote.
‘I swap the salad for soup. The Pasta e Fagioli is basically chilli. It’s so good,’ another person wrote.
Jayme responded that she does want to try the soup and that she will order the Pasta e Fagioli next time.
Olive Garden currently has more than 800 restaurants and more than 99,000 employees worldwide, and offers several lunch-sized deals start at $8.99 from Monday to Friday anytime before 3:00.
