Guest Post: How To Get Deals When You Dine Out
How to get deals when you dine out
Whether you are looking for a fun family night out at a restaurant or busy carting the kids from one busy weekend activity to another, making purchases at fast-food or sit-down restaurants should always involve a coupon. The average US household spent $2,619 on food away from home in 2009 (that’s about 5% of total expenditures). Did you know that a typical day in 2012 for the restaurant-industry means $1.7 billion in sales? This is a lot of money, but you can save more money on food! Here are some tips to obtaining restaurant coupons for free:
- Before you leave home, go online and print dining coupons. Just visit a free coupons website and select from available offers then click coupons to print.
- If there are places you dine at often, sign up for email notifications to hear about new coupons.
- Check out group buying discounts by looking at sites such as Groupon and Living Social. These usually can help you save about 50%.
- You can save even more when you purchase them online by shopping through a cash back site. You just click through to earn free cash back on top of getting a great deal. After signing in your free account, click on a money-saving offer for Groupon, Living Social or another group buying provider and shop as normal, completing your purchase in a timely manner in the current browser.
