Frugalista

I love a good deal, it is no secret, but who doesn't like saving a few bucks? I'm all about saving myself and my friends some cash so I thought I'd share a few tricks that I have up my sleeve.

Here is a list of websites I use on a weekly basis to get some sweet deals!


Savings for every day of the week:

Restaurant.com
If you sign up for their email club you get coupon codes to save even more money, last week I got an email to save 90% which means, you could get a $25 gift certificate for $1.00! They do have a few restrictions for example you have to leave 18% for gratuity but definitely worth the savings.

Metro Mix Daily Dining Deals
A website full of restaurants who offer a daily deal. This is where I found out about 801's prix-fixe dinner (choice of salad; prime filet, prime rib or salmon; and dessert) for only $29.95 on Sundays. This has to make a Sunday Funday agenda.

Tuesday:

Hey It's Half Off
Every Tuesday morning you can find a new $50 gift certificate for $25, no catch just a small handling fee, but who doesn't have handling fees, right? ;) It offers great buys on anything from restaurants to spas.

Des Moines on a Dime
This website is a little touch and go but I did find a steal on a Des Moines coupon book with even more bargains including coupons for Raygun, Blond Genius and the Iowa Cubs.

Wednesday:

Real Deals
These $50 gift certificates go on sale every Wednesday at 9:00 am sharp and they go fast because they are only $25. If you want a few tricks, let me know I'm getting pretty good at it if I do say so myself.

Thursday:

Double Dollar Deals
All local restaurants, for half the price, what can get any better?

Friday:

Half-Off Fridays
Fridays are already great, but why not make it even better? Another site with steals on restaurants gift certificates. I love going out to eat so why not go for a little cheaper?
