October 1, 2010


Have you ever used Restaurant.com? It's wonderful. It is a website where you can buy restaurant gift cards for less than half the price. For the most part, they sell $25 and $50 gift certificates for $10-$15.All you do is put in the zip code to pull up participating restaurants in a certain area. Now, I will admit, there isn't a huge selection, and certainly not your most popular restaurants. No Hacienda, Fridays or Granite City. But if you ever want to try out a new or unknown restaurant, this is the best way to do it without spending a ton of money. Here's the kicker--most of the time they run a deal where you can get anywhere from 70-90% off the purchase price. Today, I bought 2 - $25 gift certificates for Francesco's (on Lincolnway, near the 100 Center). Normally, they would have been $15 a piece. But since they were 90% off, I got them for $1.50 a piece. Now, when Jon and I decide to go (because they never expire), we just print off the certificate and take it in with us. It sounds too good to be true. But it's totally legit, and yes we have used them already and they work fine. In fact, we used them twice for different restaurants when we went up to Ludington last weekend.
