Dipping my feet...and getting deeper and deeper!

I am not talking about swimming, that, I love.  No I am talking about couponing.  

My good friend, Monica, has been couponing for a while and has put together an awesome website for the rest of us who don't know what we are doing. 
 With Seth's birthday last week (I'll post pictures later),  we wanted to eat out.  Well thanks to FabuLESSlyFrugal.com, we were able to find a great deal at Restaruant.com.  We got a $25 gift certificate to a local restaurant for only $3 - that's 70% off.  The one stipulation was we had to spend at least $50 (most restaruants are $35 minimum).  We went with my brother and his wife and put it all on one ticket.  Then we split the rest between the two of us.  We got drinks (which are not included in the $50 minimum) so with tip we each paid about $22.  The cool part was we spent about as much as we would have if we didn't have the certificate but we ate what we wanted too and did't have to worry about how much it was going to cost.  It was great.  Usually when we go out we buy something big enough we can share to save some money.  It was so nice to order what I wanted and still know I was saving money.

So check out FabuLesslyFrugal.com for other deals like this one and for 4 DAYS ONLY at Restaurant.com you can get a $25 gift certificate for only $2- that's 80% off.  Key word: LUCKY.  Offer ends Thursday, April 30, 2009.  And the best part is you can purchase the certificate for a restaurant in YOUR city, it's not just the Boise area.  Also, you can buy it today and you have a year to use it.  For a walk through of how to do this go HERE.

I have been following her website also along with some other local blogs. It is so great to have so many great resources. I am totally getting addicted to couponing for our food storage. So fun! We also love restaurant.com I just printed out more certificates today. Ono's is awesome, they have the best Hawaiian food we totally recommend it. I'll probably see you out sometime at the store with your binder of coupons!
