80% off at Restaurant.com

If you like to eat out as much as I do, this may be the time to try restaurant.com.  They sell restaurant gift cards for discounted prices.  Right now they are offering 80% off their already low prices.  They offer these special codes semi-frequently, so there's no need to stock up, but I would recommend giving them a try.  

There is a little fine print, so you won't really be eating for 80% off, but you will get a significant discount.  Not every restaurant is available.  In fact, most of them were restaurants I had never heard of before, but some of them were places I actually eat, like the Studio Diner in San Diego (SO good!!  Their "Count of Monte Cristo" is to die for...and to die from!).

How it works:
You buy a $25 gift card to Stadium Pizza (for example) for $2 (after the 80% off code).  To use that gift card, you have to have a minimum purchase of $35, and they add 18% gratuity automatically and most say "no take out, dine in only."  So you spend around $20 after tax and tip for a meal that would have normally cost around $45. 

I've used 3 of them and I think it's nice to have a way to go and eat a nice meal for an affordable price.  Plus, it encourages me to try new restaurants I've never been to before.  When you browse the restaurants, you can check out their menus as you go along to see how much their meals and drinks cost and what kinds of things they offer.  That will help you decide what size of gift card is right for you and your family. 

The promo code is DEAL and is good until 6/13.
