80% off Restaurant.com: $25 Certificates for $2

Restaurant.com is offering a 80% off with the coupon code CHEF, resulting in a $25 “certificate” for $2. Offer ends September 30th.

Contrary to my skeptical remarks (I’ve never used one of these before), many readers responded that they indeed found these certificates very useful in savings some money. Read their comments here.

Here’s a sample positive scenario. You find a restaurant on the list that you like that usually runs around $20 + tip per person (~$48 for a couple). You buy a $25 certificate for $2, which usually comes with a $35 minimum purchase + 18% required gratuity on full price.

In that case, you can save around 50% on the total bill. Good thing I’m married and don’t have to worry about going on dates with coupons!
