This is a guest post by Zippy at Champagne Living who is yet again spilling the beans on how to “life the good life for less”!
Have you ever wondered how your friends and neighbors go out to dinner so often? You’ve seen the coupons that are listed here on Freebies 4 Mom for the likes of a free appetizer from Chili’s, free meals on your birthday, kids eat free deals, etc. But how do you enjoy a weekly meal at a NICE restaurant without breaking the budget?
There are a few companies that sell restaurant (and other) gift certificates at 50% off, BOGO (buy one get one free) and at even DEEPER discounts. You may have seen or heard about some of them while looking over your favorite radio station, television station or newspaper’s website. Here’s how to find these deals in YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
- Restaurant.com – Restaurant.com offers gift certificates at even DEEPER discounts than 50% off. Keep checking to see if there are Promo Codes that you can use to score 70%-80% off of your favorite places to dine.
Enjoy your dinner out and Bon Apetite! For more ways toLive Rich for Less visit Zippy at Champagne Living.

Did you see the new promo code for restaurant.com??? Use the code SPECIAL and receive an 80% discount on purchases. I just bought 6 $25 restaurant certificates for $12 ($2 each). This is the best deal I’ve seen site-wide for restaurant.com.
Restaurant.com gift certificates are good for ONE YEAR from the date of purchase – UNLESS you live in a state that allows gift certificates to have NO expiry. If you’re not sure of your state’s gift certificate laws – Consumer’s Union keeps a list at: http://www.consumersunion.org/pub/core_financial_services/003889.htmlI hope that helped.
I’ve never used restaurant.com before. Are there expiration dates on the gift certificates?
So glad to hear that MaryBeth! It’s great that they have not only restaurants, but all sorts of service oriented businesses listed.
halfoffdeals.com was a gold mine for gift certificates in my area! The salon I’ve been wanting to try out was even on there. Thanks for the great resource!
