Hey, have you checked out Restaurant.com lately? Don’t forget that some restaurants release only a limited number of certificates per month, and those will typically sell out long before the month is over (making the first week of the month the best time to grab ’em).

Right now you can use coupon code FORK for 70% off your purchase, which means a $25 dining certificate—normally $10, already a bargain—will be just $3. It’s a simple way to keep the occasional meal out affordable for your family.

(Just ask anyone in my house: What’s your favorite kind of food? The answer is always “The kind someone else made for me.”)
