Restaurant.com

You know what's awesome? Restaurant.com. You can search for restaurants in your area and then buy discount gift certificates. How much of a discount? Typically you can get a $10 certificate for $3 or a $25 certificate for $10 (or other denominations, depending on the restaurant). A pretty good deal, no? In Louisville the selection of restaurants isn't fantastic, but there are a few really good ones.

I signed up for the Restaurant.com email list a few days ago, and this morning I was greeted by an email titled "70% Off Sale - Get $25 Gift Certificates For $3." So that's exactly what I did. I just bought $100 worth of gift certificates - to two really good restaurants - for $12. Amazing!
