It’s Friday and at my house that means the kitchen is closed. We either go out to eat or get carry-out for dinner. If this is your tradition too, here are five great ways to save at restaurants.
- Have an iPhone or iPod Touch? Check out the Meal Ticket app. It’s free and helps you find coupons to use at nearby eateries. It’s new, so the number of restaurants is still limited, but they’re adding new hot spots everyday.
- Sign up for daily deal sites, like Groupon and LivingSocial. These sites specialize in dining and entertainment, and several times a week offer 50%-off dining deals at popular restaurants.
- Pick up a $25 dining certificate valid at local eateries from Restaurant.com for only $2. Just use coupon code PLATE. Often you need to dine-in to use the certificate, so be sure to read the fine print. This offer is good through 7/31.
- If you’re heading out with kids, be sure to visit Kids Meal Deals. You can find restaurants in your area that offer special deals for kids and on which nights those deals are valid. For birthdays, check out Free Birthday Treats for freebies and discounts.
One site to check out in the future is Bunch Bite. It’s a free weekly service that’s coming soon and is set to feature three great deals a week at the best places to eat in your city. They say they can save you 50-85% on restaurant meals. I just got on their email list and am eager to check this one out.

There is a hot new mail-in rebate from Olay. Just spend $50 or more on Olay Facial Moisturizers, Facial Treatments and/or Facial Cleansers by 9/3. Then fill out this mail-in rebate form and send it in along with your original dated sales receipt to receive a $20 rebate.
No doubt sales will pop over the next few weeks, but even without a sale, you can still score some very cheap Olay products. Here’s a quick Walgreens scenario to nab eight Olay Regenerist Daily Cleansers for only $.75 each after coupons and rebate.
- Buy 8 Olay Regenerist Daily Cleansers at $6.49 each
Use 4 buy-one-get-one-free coupons from 7/11 Smart Source insert
Submit for $20 Olay Rebate
Final Price = $.75 each
Don’t have four buy-one-get-one-free coupons? You can pick them up for a few cents each at The Coupon Clippers or The Coupon Master since there is still plenty of time to submit the rebate.
