Friday money-saving deal.

(second post for today - - scroll down for today’s card)

Restaurant.com

Ever heard of it? I was a skeptic at first, just sounded odd. But basically you go there, find restaurants in your area, and buy gift certificates for about half off. Typically you’ll get a $25 gift certificate for $10….but you have to spend $35 at the restaurant AND they automatically add 18% tip just so you know. However, if you know you’re going to be going out for a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary, why not get one of these and save a few bucks? Or if you’re going to have visitors in town and don’t want to cook every meal - - take them out for a meal and save yourself some money and time all at once!

Better still – they are having a sale today in honor of 09/09/09 - - for 99 hours only you can get 90% off. I just went there and spent $17.20 and got:

$25.00 off a $50 meal at the Melting Pot - - this is a big ticket one, thinking we’ll go there for my birthday next month. It only cost $1.
$25 off a $35 meal at a new little place called Tres Bonne Cuisine. Only $1.
(4) $25.00 off a $35 meal at River Rock Ale House. $1x4=$4.
(4) $25.00 off a $35 meal at The Office. $1x4=$4.
(4) $25.00 off a $35 meal at Chilangos Mexican Restaurant. $1x4=$4.
(4) $10 off a $20 meal at Carinos. 40-centsx4=$1.60
(4) $10 off a $20 meal at Baja Fresh. 40-centsx4=$1.60


Bon Appetit!

If you join Borders Rewards program, which you can do online, you will get better deals sometimes. I got a $25 off $35 for $2 through the Borders Rewards.

BTW, I just found you from the Cards Blog. Your name stood out for me because I'm also from Boise.

Blessings,
