Cooking at home is the best way to save cash, but it’s nice to go out sometimes, too. Check out Frugal Foodie every Friday for a selection of the latest coupons for casual and fancy fare.

This week: Super Bowl discounts on pizzas, pasta and party platters, among other deals.

1. Papa John’s

Sign up for the chain’s free rewards program by game time on Super Bowl Sunday, and get 25 points – enough for a free large, three-topping pizza – if the game goes into overtime.
