Restaurant Coupons Equal Big Savings

When I first started this blog many months ago, my focus was saving money on dining out. I have moved off my original topic to talk about many current issues like organics, composting, obesity, and saving energy. But I still write about food much of the time, so here I am to tell you again, my favorite coupon sites for saving money on dining out. They are so good they bear repeating. Here are my four favorite sites.

San Diego Restaurants (http://www.sandiegorestaurants.com/) is a great website. It has individual coupons for each restaurant right on the website. All you do is click a button and print the coupon. Many of the restaurants are in San Diego, but many of us do go there to eat, and I just checked the site this morning and there were a few restaurants in North County.

Fox5San Diego (http://www.fox5sandiego.com/) is a great website for dining coupons. Click on the "Be Our Guest" link to see what they're promoting each week. The new restaurant is announced on Thursday of each week. Buy a coupon and you get 1/2 your check at that restaurant. Recent featured restaurants have been When in Rome, The Palm, and Nobu.

KYXY radio station (http://www.kyxy.com/) was the first site I found with great restaurant discounts. Their program has now expanded to include all kinds of services, from yoga classes, to dentists, to dry cleaners. You can buy coupons at their featured restaurants each week and save 1/2 off your dining bill.

Finally, Restaurant.com (http://www.restaurant.com/) is always great for finding some favorite restaurants and trying some new ones at $25 off. This is how I discovered Dell'z, one of my new favorite places.

I hope you will try some of these websites. I have discovered some new and wonderful restaurants ( and of course a few duds) and have been lucky enough to go to some excellent, usually pricey eateries at a great price.
