I love to eat out...problem is it can be expensive. So, I'm always on the hunt to save money on restaurants.
- Earn restaurant gift cards with MyPoints - I am a member of MyPoints, and I basically earn points by reading MyPoints e-mails and clicking through - usually 5 points per e-mail. After you earn enough points, you can cash them in for a gift card - my favorite is Panera Bread. You do have to have some patience to earn enough points for a gift card, but it's pretty easy.
- Purchase discount Restaurant.com gift cards - right now you can purchase Restaurant.com gift cards for 80% off - so you could get a $25 gift card for only $2 with coupon code TASTY. There are some restrictions on using the gift cards, so make sure you are fine with them before purchasing. I have not purchased from Restaurant.com before, since we don't visit any of the participating restaurants in our area, but I do have friends who have used them with no problems.
- Purchase Gift Cards at a discount - Saveology has had several discounted gift card deals available in the past. Right now, you can purchase a $15 Rainforest Cafe gift card for only $7.50 - valid for both new and existing Saveology customers.
- Use a coupon - each Friday I post a roundup of the best restaurant and retail coupons available.
