Eat for Half Price or Less at Restaurants in New England
If you plan ahead, you can save a fortune on dining in New England. Restaurant.com sells gift certificates for many New England restaurants for 50 percent or more off their face value--$25 gift certificates, for example, are priced at $10. You'll find dozens of participating restaurants throughout the New England states. Best of all, make your purchase online, print the gift certificate on your printer, and you're all set to save when you arrive at your New England destination. Through November 5, use the code HARVEST at checkout and recalculate your total to save an additional 60 percent off restaurant gift certificates--that makes certificates valued at $25 just $4. Read details carefully, as some restrictions may apply. posted 11/3/09
