Golf Package for $25

Deal Location
7900 Telegraph Road
Alexandria, VA 22315
Hilltop Golf Club
18 Holes of Golf, Cart Rental, and Bucket of Practice Balls
$ 25 buy now

Any savvy local knows that senators and congressmen make more political deals on the greens of the golf course than they do on the floor of the Capitol. Call us the Commander in Cheap (deals), because we're giving pricy golf outings a veto with today's deal. Pay just $25 and you'll get 18 holes of golf, free cart rental, and a bucket of practice balls at Hilltop Golf Club in Alexandria -- a $56 value.

Hilltop Golf Club is only 20 minutes from the White House, so chances are your puttin' elbow will be rubbin' elbows with all the government bigwigs. If that's not enough to get you reaching for your clubs, just envision the savings, i.e. all the extra cash you'll be able to allocate to your pork-barrel projects.

Everyone knows you can't rock out on an empty tummy.

50% Off Tangysweet

Deal Location
501 7th Street NW
Washington, DC 20004
Tangysweet
$50 Gift Card
$ 25 buy now

With giant, color-changing LED lights that double as tables, Tangysweet is the closest you'll get to being inside of an iPod. But while the décor is ultra-modern, Tangysweet's namesake frozen yogurt is DC's nouveau comfort food. Spend $25 for a $50 gift card* (daily yogurt fix, anyone?) for frozen treats at this DC favorite, owned by former Hill aide Aaron Gordon.

The concept is simple: mango peach, green tea, pink guava, and "classic" flavor softserve meets fresh fruit toppings like raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Throw in a handful of granola and you've got a Tangysweet sundae. Or ask for it blended for a textured smoothie, just the thing to cool you down on a steamy day. Healthy, refreshing, and altogether satisfying -- this deal is pretty sweet.

* Your gift card must be picked up at the Penn Quarter location by 9/25/10, but the card itself NEVER expires.

50% Off Sushi

Deal Location
1224 H Street NE
Washington, DC 20002
Sticky Rice
$40 to Spend on Food and Drink
$ 20 buy now

If sushi were the story of two brothers -- one a buttoned-up salaryman, briefcase in hand, riding the Tokyo Metro to work and the other one spending his days in Yoyogi Park, home to Tokyo's counterculture cosplay scene -- then the sushi at Sticky Rice, without question, would take after the latter. Today's deal lets you tell the establishment to eat it... while you eat sushi that breaks all the rules. Pay $20 and get $40 worth of food and drink at Sticky Rice.

Try the G.I. Joe roll ($6) with yellowtail, cream cheese, and scallions, rolled in crunchy wasabi peas for a taste bud thrill, or the Sticky Balls ($9), deep-fried mounds of tuna, crab, and siracha rice topped with eel sauce. Pair your sushi with a bucket of tater tots and a few too many Tecates (who said Sapporo was the only proper sushi beer?) and you'll be on the stage at Tuesday's karaoke night before you can say sayonara.
