As someone who eats out all the time, I’ve finally found the perfect website: Restaurant.com. Really, could there be anything more appropriate for my family?!
Restaurant.com is the largest dining deals site in the country, and there are so many reasons I’m intrigued by them, including the fact that we can eat at some of our favorite haunts for way less than it would usually cost us.
I also really appreciate that they’re huge supporters of local businesses, filling more than five million tables a year at independently-owned restaurants.
And now, because October 6 through October 12 is National Dine Out Week, they’re celebrating with a fantastic sweepstakes. All you have to do is log on to restaurant.com/dineoutweek for a chance to win:
* The grand prize of a $500 Restaurant.com eGift Card and a $500 donation in your name to your local Food Bank
* Five second prizes of a $100 Restaurant.com eGift Card and a $100 donation in your name to your local Food Bank
* Up to 30 daily entrants, selected at random, could win a $40 Restaurant.com eGift card
Head over to Restaurant.com and enter now. While you’re there, treat yourself to a new dining experience – or an old fave.
Restaurant.com is giving me an eGift Card for writing this post, and I can’t wait to use it at Studio Diner, which my friends have been raving about and we’ve been dying to try. Pick up a certificate of your own, and we’ll see you there!
I’m headed over there now. Bye!
Hope you win! We can go have a meal together!
I’ll meet you and Helene at dinner in San Diego. No problem.
Thanks for this post!
When you move here, we can eat at Studio Diner all the time! P.S. They do have lots of restaurants near you guys, too. We can try those together when I’m on the East Coast!
oooh dinner … tonight I had dinner in one restaurant with one child, while ex had dinner with the other child next door. Yes, I need this.
Oy. xo
I am so checking this out. Wish I lived closer to San Diego!
I wish you did, too, Nancy!
FABULOUS idea. Especially wonderful for those of us who make reservations for dinner. On my way!
Ooh, you and I make the same thing for dinner! I knew we were soul sisters!
I’m a big fan of restaurant.com — have been for a long time! My friends and I use them all the time for our “Girl’s Night Out” dinners — forces us to break out of our “regular restaurant” rut!
I love how restaurant.com is donating to a local food bank as part of the prize!
I bet you’ve found some great new restaurants that way. And I feel the same way you do about the donation to the food bank — I always try to patronize businesses that give back, and it’s awesome that they’ve made that part of the prize.
I wish you all lived closer to San Diego so I could take you (Lois is already invited) with me when I WIN!
Ruth, we are SO going. Have you been to Studio Diner yet? I am dying to eat there!
I don’t cook either! Heading over there right now.
Wish you could head over here, and we could go out for a meal together! xo
I wish they had more choices in Santa Barbara, but I do see one restaurant that’s local and my style.
Worth trying! And I like that there are restaurants all over the country to choose from when you’re traveling.
I really do love restaurant.com. Jeff and I have enjoyed using them several times now, and it is a great way to save money AND do our favorite thing.
I’m so excited about this. This will definitely help our food budget!
As someone who uses my oven so rarely it could double as a file cabinet, this is perfect for me. Thanks for the heads up.
Darryle, in our first apartment in Manhattan, I used the dishwasher as a file cabinet. My New York friends still laugh about that!
This is appealing to my quest for the ever elusive winning ticket… Sounds fabulous.
This would be a good one to win! Fingers crossed!
Oooh what fun! Am heading over right now. And, I’m not much of a cook either, my mother taught my how to make reservations and I honor her by doing just that!! Lol!
Moms do know best!
I’m checking this out too. Love contests and love restaurants
Hope you win!
Restaurant.com is a go-to for me, checking it out!
It’s now in my Favorites, just like the restaurants in my Manhattan neighborhood used to be on my speed dial!
I love restaurant.com too! Love eating out at new places …great food!
And great deals! Perfect!
Some great ones on the list for my area, Lois. Mmmm… gyros, in particular! I’ve entered and I’m tweeting it out! Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy your GC!
Wish we could go for gyros together! Thanks for spreading the word about this great contest!
