Bay Area Dining Deals – 80% Off

It’s easy to eat out on the cheap with all the new dining establishments now listed on Restaurant.com, with new dining establishments added in Bay Area cities every month. So I thought I’d give you an extra heads up about this great opportunity to save. Dining out in Bay Area cities can take a bite out of your budget, but who wants to give it up? Not me. So these “gift certificates” are worth a look. New restaurants are added every week. If you’ve never used these before, scroll down this page to “HOW IT WORKS.”

WHAT’S THE DEAL: Restaurant.com Gift Certificates valid for $25 worth of food at your choice of restaurants. The sales page will always say $10 for $25, but with the current code you get an even bigger discount.Restaurant.com Weekly Promo Offer 234 x 60

Use the current promo code shown in the box to the right —>>

HOW IT WORKS: You pay anywhere from only $2 to $10 and get $25 off your dinner bill at any restaurant on the list of hundreds. To choose a restaurant, search by name or sort by zip code, cuisine, price, or several other choices. Then pay online with a credit card or PayPal and print your certificate. They’re good for a year.

Lots of people don’t believe you can really get $25 worth of food for this cheap. Trust me, you can. My husband and I use them all the time with no hassles. Okay, my husband tells servers that we got the certificate as a “gift” so we won’t look cheap. But really, the restaurants have been very appreciative because this deal is good for them, too. First, it brings people in to check them out — they know you have unlimited dining choices. Second, most people spend more than they need to, so the restaurant still makes money.

NEED TO KNOW: Read the fine print. The difference between a real “gift certificate” and these vouchers is these vouchers have a few limitations and requirements, depending on the restaurant. Your dinner bill usually needs to be at least $10 over the $25 voucher amount. Some are not good on holidays or weekends. Some say they will automatically apply an 18% tip. Some say the discount only applies to food and not drinks. Other restrictions include using only one certificate per table and only once per month at any one restaurant.
