    80% off at Restaurant.com, PLUS 15% cash back, PLUS $10! Holy moly!

    October 14th, 2008 [Coupons & Discounts, Dining, Financial, Food & Cooking, General]

    Don’t leave until you read this whole post! You won’t regret it!

    Restaurant.com has an AMAZING deal right now – they are offering 80% off their already-reduced dining gift certificates when you enter code EIGHTY at checkout – DON’T FORGET to enter the promo code or else you won’t get the discount. This deal expires October 15, 2008 – that’s tomorrow – so if you want in, you’d better hurry up!

    My guess is that this is meant to encourage people to keep going out to eat in this ridiculous economy, especially since most of the restaurants listed are smaller restaurants that tend not to be huge chains. That said, there are some chains on there, and we found a handful of our favorite restaurants there. I can’t wait to start eating!

    There are minimum purchase amounts (usually $35 to use a $25 coupon) but that usually isn’t hard to reach unless you’re eating at a fast-food restaurant – and if you have a few people, you know you’ll reach the minimum. Let me tell you, this is an amazing deal. Their prices are already pretty good – $25 certificates are normally $10. Right now, they are $2. $10 gift cards are even less; they’re $0.60! I got about $80 worth of gift cards – for $16!

    Can you do better than that?

    Well, actually, you can! As it turns out, eBates, a rewards program that gives you cash back four times a year, offers 15% cash back on Restaurant.com – that’s a way generous rebate. So of my $16, I’ll get 15%, or $2.40, deposited into my eBates account. (I’ve gotten checks from them before, so I know it’s legit!) That’s just too awesome.

    BUT WAIT! It gets EVEN better. If you sign up for eBates through this link before October 31, 2008 you’ll get a $10 welcome deposit into your eBates account, instead of the usual $5. So not only can you get 80% off your Restaurant.com dining gift certificates, but they will practically pay for themselves (ha, depending on how much you spend) if you sign up for eBates and make your Restaurant.com purchase through their link.

    Now how awesome is that?

    Spend $59 and save $25 at Amazon Grocery

    August 27th, 2008 [Coupons & Discounts, Financial, Food & Cooking, General]

    Until August 31, if you spend $59 on selected items from Amazon Grocery, you’ll get a $25 instant rebate! I got a whole bunch of Clif Luna Bar products and 100-Calorie Packs from Nabisco. Yay for cheap snackage! Read more about this offer!

    By the way, if you have any problems redeeming this rebate, you can email Customer Service and they should be able to apply the refund manually from their end. There should not be any problems, though!
