     I received an email the other day notifying me of a 90% discount Restaurant.com is offering on all their coupons.  This promotion means that you can pick up a $25 coupon to one of your favorite restaurants for only $1. 

What is Restaurant.com?

     Restaurants all over the country offer coupons for sale on Restaurant.com.  Typically a $10 coupon can be purchased for $4 and $25 coupons cost $10.  Other, higher denominated coupons, are also available for purchase. 

Discount codes

     Often, Restaurant.com will offer special discount codes, through email, to their customers.  The discount codes are steep - sometimes as much as 80% off.  Earlier this week Restaurant.com offered a rare 90% off discount code, “NINETY”.  With a 90% discount code a $25 coupon will only cost $1, a $10 coupon runs $0.40.  The current 90% off promotion only runs through September 13^th.  Don’t worry if you miss it, though, hefty discount codes are emailed out several times a month. 

Restrictions   

     Take note of any restrictions before purchasing a coupon on Restaurant.com.  Most restaurants require a minimum purchase amount.  Additionally, some are only valid during certain times of the day or week. 

My experience

     Using a discount code, my girlfriend purchased a $25 coupon on Restaurant.com to a cute Italian place for $2.  With the coupon our $55 Friday night dinner only cost $30.  If you like dining out, and trying new places, I’d suggest checking out Restaurant.com.  For more information, or to see which restaurants offer coupons in your area, click here or on the image above.
