Eat OUT( w/ coupons) or Eat IN ($78.27 in Publix Savings)

There are some great restaurant deals out there this time of year.

I bought the 2009 Entertainment book and have already saved over $35 in coupons. $35 was what the book retails for- I got mine for $23 at Walgreens a few weeks ago when they had a deal. Many of the coupons are valid anytime- which means you can use it over the holidays. If you have not bought your book yet- but would like a FREE trial- which lets you print 3 coupons, go on there site and put in your email address. They will send you an email which gives you 2 weeks to try out the site. Once you print your coupons, you have 2 weeks to use the coupon. My fiance and I liked one of the restaurants we went to so much, that I went on and printed another coupon to use to go out with the family next weekend. What a great offer. The coupon was a BOGO Free up to $30!! Wow what a nice savings.

You can also check out restaurant.com, which is offering an 80% off deal. You can purchase a $25 gift certficate for $2. Plus get a FREE $25 gift certificate when you spend $11 before 1/1/09!!
