Restaurant.com Gift Certificates 80% Off

Have you tried Restaurant.com yet? Now is a great time to try them! Get almost all of their gift certificates for 80% off using code TASTY at checkout.

"How does it work?" you may be wondering.
1. Go here and search for restaurants available in your area.
2. Purchase the denomination of Gift Certificate you want.
3. Add it to your cart, proceed to checkout and use code TASTY as your promo code. You will see your total drop by 80%. (Right now, $25 gift certificates that are normally $10 only cost $2!)

6. Present the certificate when you order.
7. Pay your check total remainder when the bill comes.

Here's a basic overview of how our last meal using one of these certificates worked out:
I ordered a $25 gift certificate to Brothers Pizza using Restaurant.com. I paid $2 for the gift certificate. When we ordered at Brothers, I ordered $35 worth of pizza (as required by my certificate) and used my certificate bringing my total down to $10 plus tax and tip that is required.
So with the $2 plus the bill, we paid less than half for our meal!
