The Most Amazing Restaurant Deal EVER

By Sara Clemence ⋅ 2:13 pm July 10, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

barter foodI just bought $200 worth of meals at great New York restaurants for $16.50. Seriously.

The website Restaurant.com offers discounted gift certificates at establishments around the country–usually $10 for a $25 credit. Now, it is offering an additional 80% off with the code “FUN.” That means meals for just a few bucks.

The site’s restaurant selection in New York used to be pretty underwhelming, but I purchased $25 certificates from Salt, Aleo, Kellari’s Parea–all places where I’ve happily paid full price.

Be sure to read the restrictions for each restaurant–some have minimum tabs and will only let you use the certificates on certain days of the week, for example. For these kinds of discounts, I’m happy to follow a few rules. The only risk is that I’ll forget to use the coupons…but even then, I’m down less than $20.

  1. Given that restaurants often have surplus ingredients that they have to throw away before they go off(especially things like fish and salad ingredients) why don’t they offer discount leftover meal options for late evening diners.
