Angela, obviously you’ve had more sleep than I have! Restaurant.com will have “promotions” when a gift certificate can be purchased for a discounted price. This is all certificates, not restaurant specific. The correct math is that a $25 certificate which normally costs $10 would only cost $2. So it’s really $25 worth of food for $2!

Joyce, I’m glad my food adventures have inspired! I might just have to try some calzones with our Wednesday dough. I especially love a good calzone with lots of cheese and the sauce on the (out)side! Preferably shaped like a football so you get the big ends that are just yummy dough! And keep your eye on that Sprouts shrimp, we got about 2 lbs uncooked, frozen big guys there a few weeks ago and I’m still enjoying pulling them out for dishes, and they were on sale for $2.99 I think!!

Hey, pizza lady, I thought of you while I was in Trader Joe’s and saw their prepared pizza dough. Babysat the grands so daughter could have a “date night” and fixed calzone with the dough. Shrimp at Sprouts ( $4.99) and some leftover spaghetti sauce with a healthy sprinkle of parmesan then folded it over and crimped the edges like an empanada. The girls loved it (fingerfood). Thanks for your inspirations.

Thanks for the great restaurant.com tip!
I think I’ve looked there before, but didn’t understand how it works. And I’m always leery of coupons. This time, I typed in our zip code and saw that two of our favorite local restaurants are on it. So we can go out for $20 instead of $50- that’s awesome!

One question- what do you mean by “quite often the site offers a discount of up to 80%, making it $25 for only $5″??
