Living in the Bay Area there are thousands of restaurants everywhere. They are enticing, well-reviewed, and interesting. But for us, we seldom go out and explore and eat out because budget is tight. The only time I get to eat out is during family celebrations or outing with friends. But that’s also on a budget. Would it be heavenly if one could eat out, enjoy and not worry about the cost of the meal? Sad to say, not in my reality. However typical of Americans, there are places that give discounts on restaurants, activities, hotels and etc without any strings attached! I just love these companies.

Restaurant.com offers gift certificates for numerous restaurants at different places (not only in the Bay Area)  at half to 80% of the price!  I can purchase a $25 gift certificate for only 2USD and use it at any restaurants listed in their website. That’s a good deal! I can eat a $25 meal and actually paid only $2! Eat hearty then! I’ve already stocked up certificates just so when my family decides to eat out or when I’m with friends. This no hoax! This has been going on for a long time and a lot of people have used it. The customer service is really helpful and nice. The catch…ummm…well with gift certifcates come some restrictions. Some restaurants will require a minimum food purchase, or can be used only for certain time of the day eg. dinner or lunch, or it’s only applicable to food and not drinks – just little stuffs. But overall it is still a great bargain. Sign up for their newsletter and receive news alert when they slash off their price to 80%!

So for food lovers, food connoisseur-wannabe, food critic, Restaurant.com is worth trying!
