Forget $10: You can get a $25 coupon for just $2!

Remember the Restaurant.com deal from a couple weeks ago? Well, it's back! From now until Halloween (aka October 31), you can get a $25 gift certificate for a restaurant in your area for just $2. Just enter coupon code TREATS when you get to the shopping cart.

There are a few conditions, of course, usually in the form of a minimum food or drink purchase. However, it's not as if you have to order a case of wine or anything. And you can print the coupon right on your own printer: It's immediately ready for use.

Last time out, the restaurant I wanted was "out of stock," but this morning I was able to nab a $25 coupon for just two bucks. In these heinous economic times, that's too good to pass up.

As one reader pointed out previously, do make sure to read all the terms and conditions before you buy, just so you avoid any nasty surprises when the check comes. Bon appetit!

Just be a bit careful. It seems for most of them, you can only use one at a time. Not really gift certificates, more like coupons. Still a great deal, but you aren't getting an $75 meal for $6.

I have had problems using this website. Pages are very slow to load. I don't think the problem is on my end. Remember, you can only use one gift certificate per meal. I have not tried to use two separate checks. Happy eating, Brin

The code can be used no matter what dollar denomination you chose....what a great deal. its better to purchase a higher dollar amount GC since most of them state that you can only use one at a time.
