How to save money at restaurants

How to save money at restaurants

I hardly ever go to a restaurant without a coupon in hand.



Here are a few ways I get coupons



Restaurant.com

Get gift certificates to your favorite restaurants for less than half the price. Normally they sell $25 certificates for $10 and $50 certificates for $20. But, they offer coupon codes all the time ranging from 50% - 80% off. Read the details carefully. Some coupons require you to spend a certain amount or go on certain days. Usually, there aren’t many limitations though.

Coupon codes, click here to use and enter code at checkout:



Entertainment.com coupon book really saves you money

This year I decided to purchase the 2009 Entertainment book and see how much I could save. I think I bought the book for about $15 and we have already used about $40 worth of coupons. So, yes, I definitely got my money back and more. It’s only March, so I’m sure I’ll save even more throughout the year.



The great thing about the Entertainment book is not only do you have a ton of coupons in the book to choose from; you also have many online as well. There are additional coupons to the retailers in the book as well as others. Some of the online coupons you can only print once, some are once a month.



Normally the coupon books cost about $25 (depending on city), but if you click here you can get 50% of 2009 Entertainment.com coupon books. That makes it only $12.50. It’s a great deal!



Click the link above, enter your zip code, and you can even preview the book and coupons before you buy.



Get on the email list

I know it can be a pain to get on email lists, but if you want the coupons, it’s worth it. Go to your favorite restaurant’s web page and sign up for their emails. Many of them have birthday clubs where you get something free on your birthday. Some send you coupons right off the bat just after signing up. Here are a few that give out good coupons.





Do a quick Google Search





Let’s say I’m going to Planet Hollywood. Before I leave the house, I’ll do a Google Search for Planet Hollywood Coupons. When I do that, I’m able to find this, a coupon for $5 off $20 at Planet Hollywood. Use the Google Search above, type Planet Hollywood Coupons, then click the second link on the results. That one is for $10 off at Planet Hollywood.



Same thing with Popeye’s Chicken. I did a search and found various meal deals coupons at Popeye’s.





Valpak

Go to Valpak (the envelope of coupon cards you get in the mail) online. You can print coupons right from their web site.





Here are some printable coupons I found without having to sign up for email lists. Enjoy! (please let me know if any of the links expire)

· Baskin Robins - Buy one sundae, get one free. Hurry, coupon expires March 28!

· Chuck E Cheese - Printable coupon for 20 free tokens with purchase of a large pizza.
