About Us I am a stay at home mom with three wonderful kids. I have been married for over 8 years to my best friend. I am head over heals in love with him. He always supports my crazy "thrifty adventures". We have a lot of fun together. I was raised on a small dairy farm. Where I learned very young, the value of hard work and how to be thrifty in all areas of life. Growing up our meals were made from scratch. Only on special occasion would we get name brand cereal, chips, or any other fancy treats. Now that I am a Mom with my own budget, the basic foods always comes first. I too make most of our meals from scratch and take pride in feeding my family a well balanced healthy diet. I enjoy seeing how far I can make our budget stretch, and when I take the time to match sales with coupons I am able to get all those "fun & fancy" items that would other wise be out of my budget. Being thrifty has always been a way of life for me, but it has also become a real joy.

We use these when we go out to eat, and love them.   Last time I used one at Silver Spur here in Caldwell, Which unfortunately has closed down due to the economy. My bill would have been $48.68 but I was able to get it for $19.47.  A very Thrifty price for a steak dinner for a family of 5.  You do need to read the fine print most of them say you have to order $35.00 in order to use you $25 gift card and they require a 18% tip.  I am happy to do both of these and always feel like we get a thrifty deal.  The best part is you can print these right of your home computer so you do not need to wait for them to show up in the mail!  Click logo above for more details.

  • We purchased the gift card as a birthday gift for our son. He has already used the gift card and was very satisfied with his purchases.

    I had a quck question about these. I know that you can only use 1 a month. If i bought a couple for my fams christmas party…could they all go whenever even if its all in the same month…is there a code on them that says you have already been this month. Im just worried that if i gave them that my fam wouldnt be able to use them if one of the others was used that month. Do you know what im saying?

  • Lacey I think it is just one per store per month….maybe I am wrong but that is how we have always done it

  • TYANNE

    I use these all the time. I have used them multiple times in the same month and also have used them for take out and for drinks. I think it would be up to the restaurant:)

    How long does it take to get these? I ordered mine on cyber Monday and have still not recieved it!

    Abbie,
    You print them out of the email. There is no need to wait, it comes right away.

    While the restaurant.com certificates are great, PLEASE be very careful of other “offers” attached to the restaurant.com site. I just found out that I, without knowing, signed up for some predatory shopping “discount service” (MVQ is the company) for a trial membership, but was charged $19.95 for 3 months before realizing what was going on….When I called the company, they did stop my “membership”, but I’m still out $60.

    Thanks for this tip, we just moved to the area and are going to use these to try out some restaurants and to give to a friend for a favorite restaurant of his. Such a great deal to get the extra $10 one as well!
