Restaurant Coupons
Restaurant .com presently has restaurant coupons for 90% off. The code word is ninety. This may be the final day to get this discount. One of the coupons you can purchase is for the Country Cow Restaurant. This restaurant is located right outside of Plymouth. The food is very good and the dining area overlooks a covered bridge.

Beware
After reading the 90% off deal I bought two certificates for Schofield's at the Gunstock Inn because I always wanted to try them out, I called last night to see if they were open and found out they are closed permanately. So now I have emailed Restaurant.Com for a refund.

Getting a refund should not be an issue. Actually, I think they issue you a credit.
It's happened to me a few times. I've bought a few to restaurants that we wanted to try and then, after quite some time, they restaurant either went out of business or was no longer participating. A email was all it took to get the credit. I think I'm sitting on 4-5 credits right now. |

Restaurant.com
Restaurant.com is offering $25 gift certificates for $3 through Sunday 9/19. Enter Promo Code "SPORK" at Checkout and Hit "Apply". There are quite a few decent restaurants in the area that use the service, such as Lyon's Den, Corner House and Mame's to name few.

Many Lakes Region restaurants participate in restaurant.com. I stock up on generic gift certificates when they are on sale and then later select the restaurant when I am ready to use it by giving the gift to myself! Certificates are re-stocked at the beginning of each month and retailers rotate in and out but right now area restaurants include:
T-Bones Laconia Cactus Jacks Laconia Mame's Meredith Heat Laconia Lyons Den Gilford Club 59 Wolfeboro You have to read restrictions carefully, but I have saved a lot by using restaurant.com! |

That quote was from a year ago. I don't they're still on there now. Anyway, I had one for Abandante when they closed and I was able to exchange it for another place with no questions asked.

Wow....90% off. Kind of boggles the mind when you figure that the average restaurant nets 9% or 10%. There are exceptions.....a very well run busy store might do as high as 20% in a good year. It is used as a marketing tool to introduce new diners to an establishment so it sure is a great deal.

It's 90% off the certificate but then many restaurants set minimum requirements to use the certificates to ensure they bring in enough revenues. Minimums usually range from $35 - 50 for your bill to be able to deduct $25. In addition, you can only use one certificate per month. From a business perspective, it's a great way to bring in new business. I've certainly tried restaurants that I otherwise wouldn't have tried solely because they participate in restaurant.com.

These are a good deal to try a new restaurant, but if you're buying these to use as your own personal "currency", you're probably hurting their business in the long run, might not be a good idea at a place you really enjoy/appreciate.
