I like a good bargain. I'm never going to deny that. I've gotten lots of emails in the past advertising about restaurant.com, but I've actually never tried it. I'm one of those people who really finds coupons at restaurants to be embarrassing. But I remembered a blog post from my financial advisor, pahkcah02, where she mentioned going to a restaurant with her sister using a gift certificate she purchased from the website and I was intrigued.
I decided to check the website out to see if there are any certificates for my upcoming vacation (one week and counting!). Since my boyfriend is paying for our vacation, the least I could do is try to be a little economical. Plus, we've received a ton of restaurant recommendations so it was worth a shot. I only found one of my restaurants on there but it was still worthwhile. I got a $25 gift certificate (on a tab of $50.00+ not including alcohol and gratuity) for the price of.....$3.00. Pretty awesome. It would have been $10.00 but there is a promo code "SAVE" which gets you 70% off. They don't have any shipping fees since you print the certificate out from your computer. Plus, being away from home, I can use this gift certificate without any embarrassment!

I've only used the certs twice and didn't see a significant problem with it. Then again, I am absolutely shameless. Plus I've been insanely amused when I realized that more than half my fellow diners were using their restaurant.com print outs with pride. Honestly? It's not like you're trying to sneak in a buy-one-get-one-half-off coupon for TGI
Friday's that you clipped from the weekend Lowell Sun. You're going to a high end restaurant, except now your three digit check just slid into the high two's. Reward your frugality - order a fourth glass of champagne...and have a wicked good time in Vegas!
