Restaurant.com

So I've told you before that I REALLY like to go out to eat.  But I don't like how much it costs our family of 5 to eat out.  Restaurant.com is one my favorite tools to save money and get to go out.  I've bought many $25 restaurant gift certificates for $3, $2 and even once for $1!

Here's how it works.....

• Set up an account here.
• Search by Zip Code, City, or State to get a list of participating restaurants & other merchants in your area
• You'll find various offers like $25 Gift Certificates for $10, $10 GC for $3 and others.
  
• Choose a gift certificate you want and .... this is important .... be sure to read the terms and conditions.  Some are only good on certain days of the week.  Some require a minimum purchase.  Some have other restrictions.  
•  Add the Gift Certificates to your cart
• Here's the best part....Use a Discount code to reduce the price of the Gift Certificates
• Once you've paid for them, you can print your gift certificates 
  

After joining Restaurant.com you'll start getting emails with discount codes to save even more...and of course I'll post the codes here too!  Enter the discount code on the checkout screen and see your price drop.

Use this one now.....
 Save 80% off Restaurant.com $25 Gift Cert. orders! Use code SANTA and Pay $2 thru 12/25/09.

New restaurants are added often.  There are limited numbers of gift certificates available so some do sell out.  More are added at the first of each month though.

We went to Champps last night.  There were 4 adults and 5 kids in our group.  With our Restaurant.com Gift Certificate and Kids Eat Free and Half Price Burgers on Monday's, we only spent $23 for dinner!! That included the tip!!

There are participating restaurants all over the country.  Use this to save money when on vacation or as a gift!
