Dining out while on a budget is, at least for our family, almost non-existent. We do budget for occasional take-out from Subway or McDonald's, but a sit-down dinner is a rarity.
While chatting with some online friends yesterday I discovered Restaurant.com. For $10 you can purchase $25 gift certificates to a variety of local restaurants. Restaurant.com helps restaurant owners promote the new and unique aspects of their restaurants while providing diners with great value in a fun, new and cost effective way.
Just visit the Restaurant.com website and plug in your zip code to see the available restaurants. We found one of our favorites in the Kansas City area...Waldo Pizza.
To make the deal even sweeter, if you purchase the gift certificate before March 31 and use the coupon code GENIUS you receive that same $25 gift certificate for only $4!!!!!
Some restrictions do apply so check out the terms for your particular restaurant of choice. Waldo Pizza requires a $40 minimum purchase which is no problem for a family of 5, and it is valid on dine-in service only.
I purchased our gift certificate this morning and the process couldn't have been easier. Just enter your name and address, choose a password, and pay via credit, debit or Paypal. You'll be able to instantly print out your gift certificate which is good for a whole year.
What a fantastically frugal way to "budget" in a little splurge!!
