Good Deals #1: Restaurant.com
This one I can not credit to my own wile ways, I must give the credit to my boyfriend, Pierce. We have been able to go on some amazing dinner dates and get a ton of food because of this website he discovered. We went to a nice Greek place on 2nd Street in Long Beach, a bunch of cool restaurants in downtown Fullerton, a restaurant at Pike Place in Long Beach, and many more.
What you do is go on restaurant.com, find a restaurant you want to try (there are so many all over the country), and buy a $25 dollar gift certificate for $10. But wait, there’s more. Every week you can get a certain amount off of the $10. Right now, it is 70% off, so you can get a $25 dollar gift certificate for $3 bucks! It’s amazing. I have even seen it be 90% off.
To get the extra discount, you get an account on restaurant.com. They will send you the special coupon codes every week, but the one right now is PUMPKIN in case you don’t want to wait for the e-mail (ends Sunday, October 25). Just type it in the coupon code box at checkout and you are set.
Yes, I understand that this seems too good to be true and there must be a big catch. Well, you’re wrong. You only need to look at the minimum amount you need to spend (usually $35), and they still require you to tip the server the normal amount. Also, you can only use one coupon per restaurant per month. But that’s it. Pierce and I have done it about 10 times so far and we have never run into an issue.
So boys- think you can’t treat your girlfriend to a nice meal? Think again.
