Went there last night and turned out they have their semi annual pie sale.

Link

On their website, it shows $5.99 + tin. But in the restaurant (Arcadia, CA) they have a sign saying $4.99 + tin if you dine in.

Cool, I didn't know they were actually a restaurant chain. I only heard of Marie Callender's from those (quite good) frozen dinners.

That's exactly right! I've done this once and they have no problem with it. They told me that the maximum tins they'll take at any one time is 10 though.

You pay a 50 cent deposit (in San Jose area at least) per pie for the tins as noted in the title. So you're just getting your deposit back when you turn them in.

same here in socal, but i have never taken them back, maybe i should start (could save nearly 10% for each pie)

How adout almost FREE after pie tins, this is how it can be done...

Buy your pies in Auburn CA where you pay no tin deposit.

Once you've gotten 10 tins truck on down to Sacramento CA and apply them towards your purchase at 50 cents each.

Don't ask me how I know, but I know.

mmm pie. I think this applies to their Boston Cream pie too, which really isn't a pie, it's more like cake.
pie > cake

i've never had their pies...i've only had pie 3 times in the past 15 years...and the latest time was this past halloween, when someone from work bought pumpkin pie from krogers.

I love her peach pie. Absolutely the best.

Apple pie is good too.

I like their peach pie, chocolate satin, and Kahlua cream cheese (but I'm not sure if it qualifies; it did in the past).

Those dinners are the best. They are truly the top frozen dinner I have ever had. Hear Hear for Marie Callender!

They do have great frozen dinners. Boston Market's are good too, but not as good. About 10-12 years ago I went to a Marie Calendar's restaurant not far from my house and was a little disappointed, not in the food, but because the place was so tiny and jam packed, you had this tiny little table and 4 tiny chairs jammed around it. I'm not very tall but I felt like a giant.
