Small Changes make Big Change!

Hi Friends...
New blog here. Let's see how long it will keep going. This blog is dedicated to sharing ideas about how making small budget and financial decisions, ways to save money, etc. can effect BIG changes in your overall financial picture. Everyone is encouraged to comment and contribute, and I will try to come up with money saving tips and tricks as much as possible. Here's the first one:
Use the website www.restaurant.com to save on restaurant gift certificates. We use this website a LOT and it's fantastic! Normal price is only $10 for a $25 gift certificate to any restaurant you choose from their website. There is no limit on the number of certificates that you purchase, however, you may only use one per table, per month at each restaurant. They are good for one year. You simply print them from your computer, and if you lose one...just reprint it. They're good until the restaurant 'validates' them upon use, or until they expire.
Often, the website will offer a 'discount'. For instance, right now you can get those same $25 certificates for only $2! Simply enter the word, 'SAVE' at checkout, then hit 'apply' and voila! Your price magically changes from $10 to $2. At this price, they're also great gifts. Just remember...you can't go out with another friend and use two...ONE PER TABLE. This discount expires on Thursday, June 10 at midnight...so get 'em while they're hot! Be careful to read any additional requirements, such as minimum food purchase (this is usually $35, but you'll have that $25 certificate!) or minimum 2 entrees, or good for dinner only, etc.
Happy saving and eating!
Vicki
