May I buy you dinner?

Just discovered something cool: Restaurant.com



Restaurant.com sells discounted online Gift Certificates to restaurants. $25 Gift Certificates are $10, $50 Gift Certificates are $20, etc. You can also see the restaurant details, check out the menu and wine lists and make online reservations.

If you place an order with Restaurant.com by June 30th you'll receive a FREE $10 Gift Certificate via email within 24 hours of your purchase.

AND if you use the Promo Code MEALS when you check out you will receive 60% off your order!

I wanted to check it out before I posted it, so I went to the site, found a restaurant I like and purchased a $10 Gift Certificate. I selected a $10 Gift Certificate which is $10 off of a $20 purchase. I used the code MEALS and saved 60% making my total $1.20, which I paid via PayPal. I received an email immediately and printed my certificate. I then received another email for an additional $10 Gift Certificate to Restaurant.com because I ordered before June 30th. So for a buck and some change I got the equivalent of $20 in food.

The certificates are good for 1 year and can be exchanged for other restaurants within 90 days. They have various other promotions and a Dinner of the Month Club. You can use only 1 coupon per party, per month and it excludes alcohol and beverages. I wouldn't want to whip out a coupon if I was at a fancy restaurant or on a date (that's for the guys reading this, ladies should never pay, but that's another post) but it's perfect for me to take my 3 kids out to eat - as you can see by my profile picture, I am "Domestically Disabled" which basically means I don't cook. So finding new places to eat that don't break the bank is important to me.

I am generally not a coupon saver, but lately I have been in the habit for looking for online promotional codes because I do so much internet shopping. I am going to share my finds with my readers so let me know if you know of any good ones!
