I don't know any woman that doesn't like to eat out. Now's your chance to do it for practically free!

Go to Restaurant.com Gift Certificate and use the discount code "TREATS" and get 80% OFF your order.
i.e. I just five $25 gift certificates and two $50 gift cards for EIGHTEEN DOLLARS!!! And they're good for a year. You print the certificate on your computer and just walk it into the restaurant.

I think it ends in TWO days on the 31st so don't delay!!
I looked at the restaurants and in West Seattle two of my favorite restaurants are listed but they have restaurants all over (search by state or zip code) and you can give them as gift certificates.

They would make GREAT Christmas gifts! Can you imagine sending your in laws or whomever a $100 gift card you paid $12 for.

Yes I realize the math doesn't work. It's 80% off an already discounted price. That's what makes it so FANTASTIC!!!

OK, reporting back. I redeemed one of the $25 gift cards tonight. I had to spend $50 to use it but for a family of four that wasn't hard. We ordered two large pizzas and a dinner salad. Our total after the gift card was $28.06. We were shy about $1.50 on the $50 but they said that was okay. Bonus I don't have to make lunch tomorrow we have leftover pizza!

That's great! There aren't too many options in my area, but I found a cute little breakfast/lunch place that actually advertises vegan/vegetarian meals on the menu that I'd love to try. The min requirements are decent too - spend $15 for a $10 GC.

I just want to put out a friendly warning about this site. I purchased gift certificates last year around this time...they were going to be for Christmas gifts until I realized how "cheesy" there were since it was a page printed off my computer.
Anyhow....bought about 4 and apparently they have some sort of piggy back thing that happens where you end up "willingly" signing up for some "shopping membership" site that charges anywhere from $9.95-$19.95 month...they get your credit card number through Restaurant.com. Please be sure to check your credit card statements CAREFULLY if you have purchased from them. If you see anything called "shopping essential" beware! They had charged me for 3 months before I realized and it is a b*tch to try to actually get ahold of someone there and demand a refund. They will claim you willingly signed up for it. Here is a website that I found with others complaints about being scammed.

I have a few codes for R.com that I redeemed through coke rewards but I haven't turned them in yet. Unfortunately you can't combine them with any promo codes.

OMgoodness! Rosie thanks for the heads up I'll be watching my statement.

FYI: The guy who started, owns, runs ripoffreport.com is wanted by the FBI for extortion. He's been blackmailing companies. He get's people to submit false reviews and then approaches the companies for a payoff to get it off the site.

Is Ed Magedson, owner ripoffreport.com, an extortionist?

Well if he does that he did a good job on this one because the things the people wrote about are exactly what happened to me.
