Save $$ at Local Restaurants

Restaurant.com is a great way to save some money the next time you go out. Their website offers a very easy to use search feature. Just punch in your zip code and bring up a list of local restaurants that are offering decent savings of your bill.

Common Gift cards seem to be:

• A $10 Gift Card for $3
• A $25 Gift Card for $10

Convenient Printing: As soon as you purchase your Gift Certificate with any Major Credit Card or Paypal, you can print it out immediately.

Beware of the Catch: At first glance it is an incredible deal. But be sure to check out the restrictions. Many of the restaurants only allow you to use the gift card with a minimum purchase. So instead of saving $7 when you spend $10, you are saving $7 when you spend $25.

If you’re dining out anyways: Why not save a few bucks. If you know you’ll spend the minimum purchase price limit the restaurant has, then it takes just a few minutes to purchase and print. It’s certainly worth checking if one of your favorite local restaurants are listed. My wife is always amazed that simply handing someone a piece of paper can save you money ($7 in this case).
