Restaurant.com is offering 90% off their $25 certificates (Regular price $10) with coupon code WOW. Offer valid through 10/1 at 11:59PM PST.
Despite my initial skepticism about these things, many readers responded that they indeed found these certificates very useful for saving money. Read their comments here.
Here’s how the savings math might work out. You find a restaurant on the list that you like that usually runs around $20 + tip per person (~$48 for a couple). You buy a $25 certificate for $1, which usually comes with a $35 minimum purchase + 18% required gratuity on full price.
Dinner for two = $40 regular menu priceMinus $25 certificate = $15
Plus cost of certificate ($1) = $16
Plus 18% gratuity on menu price = $7.20
Total price = $23.20 or $11.60 a person, a 50%+ savings.
Given the recession atmosphere, I’ve been seeing more restaurants adding themselves to this list. Any stigma attached to using coupons is probably a lot less as well. If you know of a good worthy restaurant, please share them (along with city) in the comments.
