2 for 1 Fine Dining

There’s nothing like an occasional nice dinner out but it can be spendy unless you’ve discovered Restaurant.com. Enter your zip code and you will be presented with ample list of participating fine dining establishments in your area where you can purchase certificates at a discounted rate. For example, $10 can buy you a $25 certificate provided you spend at least $35 to include an 18% gratuity ($41.30 total). Just print and present your certificate and your server will adjust your bill accordingly. That in itself is a great deal but it gets even better. Restaurant.com regularly offers promotional discounts by as much as 80% off provided you know the promo code (see Savvy Shopper Secrets). That means for as little as $2, you can purchase a $25 discount. Accordingly, if the total price equals $41.30, the out-of-pocket expense is $18.30 ($41.30 – $25 +$2= $18.30). Since the certificates have no expiration date, it might be wise to purchase a multitude during the promotional period as they make a great gift as well. I’ve personally used these certificates with great success. I’m not aware of other similar such deals but if there are, please consider sharing. Bon Appetit! [Jhn 7:8]
