Title: Very cheap eats
Post by: Father Demon on October 15, 2008, 10:27:42 AM
Today Restaurant.com (http://www.restaurant.com) is doing some sort of special on their coupons.  Go in, select restaurants near where you live, and use the Discount Code "Eighty" when you check out.  It gives you an additional 80% off their already discounted prices.  I got $60 worth of restaurant gift certificates for $4.60.  There are restrictions on most of them like "You must spend $35 (on a $25 gift certificate) Sunday through Thursday", but you get to read those details before you purchase. 

I read all the terms and conditions, and I didn't see anything that stood out to me.  Plus I paid through PayPal instead of credit card to protect myself.

The discount code expires at noon today (allegedly). 

Anyway, it seems like a very good deal, so I thought I'd share.

Thanks for the tip, Demon.  None of our favorite joints are on that site, but there were a couple of places I've been wanting to try.  Picked up two $25 certificates for a total of $4.

Is there any chance this place isn't at least passable?  Reading, PA - HOLLER.

For $2, I thought the $25 johnson was definitely worth it.

I just grabbed a $25 johnson for Cincy in case I can still make it.  I'm willing to risk the $2 on it.

Victor Emmanuel's is good stuff, but I think they still don't allow non-whites in there.

this site sends me about 97 emails a week.  type in MORE to get 60% off.  not as good as Demon's but still pretty good.
Title: Re: Very cheap eats
Post by: ice grillin you on October 15, 2008, 08:25:37 PM

Title: Re: Very cheap eats

this one stipulation is confusing to me...

Valid for dinner with minimum purchase of $35/min 2 dinner entrees.

It's a steakhouse with expensive entrees...so is it a minimum of $35 and 2 entrees?  Or a minimum of 2 entrees that are at least $35?
Title: Re: Very cheap eats
Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on October 30, 2008, 12:02:02 PM
$35 total, for the $25 gift certificate.  They have bigger denominations too.
Title: Re: Very cheap eats
Post by: SunMo on October 30, 2008, 12:11:09 PM
i didn't see any bigger denominations, but getting $50 in gift certs for $4 = win

80% off again at restaurant.com - $10 gift certificate for 60 cents, and $2 for a $25 certificate.

The coupon key word is SURPRISE.  No idea when this ends.

some friends of mine had a fakesgiving party last night, and everyone had to bring a dish.  i made white trash meatballs.  it's a bag of frozen meatballs slow cooked with one can of chili sauce and one can of grape jelly.  sounds disgusting but they are delicious.
