So awesome! We too keep talking about saving money for this and saving money for that. But I had to give this a try…$16.50 later we have $175 worth of gift certificates to spend. However, click wisely, looks like we will be spending $100 at Ike’s. Who wants to come with to brunch?

We’re on a seriously tight budget these days but can’t resist the urge to eat out every now and then. I’m always on the hunt for great coupons to local dining and have found some excellent discounts from sites like Groupon and Living Social.

But I had to share this little tidbit I discovered today. It’s pretty time sensitive - so don’t wait as it might not even last 24 hrs.

Got to the Restaurant.com link above - type in your zipcode and select the restaurant gift certificates that interest you (heck get two or three to the same place!)

Where it says “Apply Code” - type in the word - Clearance

and Voila! (I always want to spell it phonetically like Wah lah!)

It will take 80% off the already discounted coupon price.

I got $265 worth of gift certificates for $22 today.

I’ve used these several times in SF & around NC and never had an issue with any restaurant not accepting them.

They help us keep our budget in check and still enjoy a night out!

Enjoy,

M
