Romy Raves

Have you ever visited the Restaurant.com website? It is a great place to buy significantly discounted restaurant gift certificates in your local area that you can print out instantly on your computer. They regularly offer $25 gift certificates for $10 at over 13,o00 restaurants nationwide which is a really good deal (and they are TOTALLY legit BTW).

Well, if that offer sounds enticing, you won’t believe this one, Restaurant.com is having an AMAZING time limited offer right now. They are selling their already discounted gift certificates for 80% off the regular price making their $10 gift certificates ONLY $2–Let me spell that out for you, you get a $25 restaurant gift certificate for $2 and in my book that’s a ROCKIN’ deal!

All that you need to do is click on the picture offer link below, search for restaurants in your area, then enter the discount code INDULGE and hit apply before you purchase, and it will adjust the price to 80% off. I know it sounds too good to be true, but this is the real deal. I bought five certificates today for some of my fav restaurants in my area, spent $10 and got a $125 value—WOW! Make sure to to take advantage of this insane offer immediately because these certificates tend to sell out quickly! This offer is valid until 1/19/10 at 11:59PM PST.

Hope you enjoy this Recessionista Friendly offer and tell your friends too! I also wanted to give a special Shout Out to my wonderful Sister-In-Law Jenn for sharing this fabulous resource–Please show her some love and take a moment to visit her brand spanking new blog where she shares lots of creative ideas for things you can do with your kids.

If you are anything like me, I steer clear of the Black Friday shopping frenzy because NOTHING is worth waking up at 4am and fighting the crowds for–plus personally I think the whole concept is a psychological marketing trick of more hype than substance. However, I must admit that I was curious this year, so I did venture out at 11am to shop, and honestly there were no great bargains to be had and the crowds were minimal.

In contrast to Black Friday, Cyber Monday has tremendous appeal. From the comfort of your own home, you can scour cyberspace for the best deals around, no crowds, no lines, and no nonsense. You might fare better if you are tech savvy, but there are plenty of bargains to be found.

So in honor of this special day, I would like to share a few special offers from some of my favorite brands that are definitely worth checking out:
