Web site Restaurant.com sells gift certificates to participating restaurants all over the country, often offering deeply discounted prices. Right now the site is selling $25 gift certificates for $10, which isn't a bad start, but from now until Halloween, entering TREATS at the checkout applies a second 80% discount to the sales price. The result is a supremely cheap $25 gift card for just $2. Want to aim higher? The same discount applies to more expensive gift cards as well, so you can snag a $50 gift card for $4, $100 for $8, and so on. Be sure to read up on the participating restaurants before buying and check the fine print for the restaurant you plan on using it at so there aren't any surprises when the bill comes. A Restaurant.com gift card may restrict you to a minimum food purchase, for example. In the midst of financial apocalypse, this seems like a nice way to save a few bucks but still enjoy a meal out.



(Rudy's is on the list, very handy for Firsties!  Valid with a minimum purchase of $15. Excludes Friday-Saturday)

if you go to the home page you can search for restaurants. each individual restaurant has a page with info about it; the fine print is under the add to cart button.

Oh! There's a restaurant search on the page she linked to that says something about each restaurant but doesn't include that "fine print" so I assumed I was seeing what I'd see on restaurant search, didn't realize if you search from the home page you get more info on the restaurants that come up. Thanks!

i was right there with you, and went to the home page in frustration trying to find the fine print :)

I wish there were a way to search for kosher restaurants!
(Though I suspect few of them would be participating...)

I did that too, then thought about kosher restaurants in NYC (only a Fung Wah away!), which are many and varied, and I have no idea how I'd sort/filter through all that.

Ooooh! Thank you!
(And Levana even has an additional 5% off 'internet special'.)
