Enjoy a Night Out – For Less

When my best friend told me about a website she had found, I thought it was too good to be true.  When I did check out the site, I was flabbergasted.

Restaurant.com is something you can’t afford not to do.  The basic principle you purchase gift certificates for local restaurants (the amounts vary based on the restaurant) at discounted prices.  An example would be paying $10 for a $25 gift certificate.  Even better, certain coupon sites offer coupon codes that enable you to receive up to 90% off.  You would spend $1 and receive a printed out gift certificate for $25.  I am on a mailing list for couponmom.com, and I received an email today with the coupon code “NINETY” which will give you 90% off gift certificates until Sept 13^th.

To get started, visit www.restaurant.com and enter your zip code.  You will find a list of the participating restaurants, and the gift certificates available.   Make sure and read the details, since some are only valid with a minimum purchase, will include 18% gratuity, etc.

For those of you in my area, I highly recommend Mimosa, the Asian Fusion restaurant on the east side of town.  It’s fabulous, and the coconut shrimp are out of this world.
