I love finding new places to eat-when they’re within my budget. So that really narrows the list of restaurants down by a lot. Fortunately, there is Restaurant.com.

Restaurant.com is basically a hub for buying gift certificates for restaurants-at a steep discount. Although the restaurant selection isn’t too great, the deals make up for it. One time I was able to get a certificate to E & O for $4, which had a value of $25!

So if you’ve been eyeballing that restaurant in your neighborhood, check restaurant.com out first. Now you can take the plunge on that questionable restaurant, without taking a huge hit on your (paper)wallet.

Watch out for the coupon promotions, which knocks off a couple more bucks on their already cheap prices. Sometimes there are a couple of caveats-just make sure to read the fine print. I assure you, it’s well worth it.
