Restaurant.com: $25 Gift Certificate for just $2! Ends Feb 28th!

Save 80% off most Restaurant.com $25 Gift Certificates! Use code DINE at checkout now through 2/28/11.

Not familiar with Restaurant.com? Restaurant.com provides certificates that are good for hundreds of restaurants that are in your local area. I tend to view them more as a coupon vs. cash since many of them have stipulations on them that they are not good towards liquor or a certain spending threshold needs to be met before you can use it...but its a great way to SAVE on eating out!

Here's how it works:

• Browse restaurants at Restaurant.comRestaurant.com in the area you want to eat
• Pick the restaurant and add it to your cart (be sure to read the fine print and restrictions associated with that gift certificate)
• Enter the promo code DINE and 80% will be deducted off your total making your $25 gift certificate only $2!
• Wait for your confirmation and print your certificate!
• Most certificates are good for one year from the time you purchase

Review: Power Rangers: Samurai on Nickelodeon

Last night, Nickelodeon debuted a new TV show Power Rangers: Samurai with a new cast and new look! My 7 yr old and I watched together "The Team Unites" and he thought it was exciting and funny (during the first practice session with the rangers Kevin, the Blue Ranger, looses his pants)! Moving from Disney to Nickelodoen The Power Rangers got a new shiny, martial-arts-influenced reboot.

Just like the Power Rangers who work together in each episode to solve different challenges (in the first episode Mike unsuccessfully attacks Rofer, a long armed monster, Mike is inspired by Jayden and Mentor to take his training more seriously to help protect his family and friends. With Jayden's help, Mike defeats Rofer in the end) the Power Rangers emPower Movement provides parents and kids the tools they need to work together and grow healthy kids and support healthy communities.

Power Ranger emPower Values include: Standing up for what's right, Teamwork & Cooperation, Confidence, Health & Physical Fitness, and Caring & Friendship. Check out more about the emPower Values here.

How can you participate?

• Nominate your child for Ranger of the Week on the emPower Movement Facebook Page. Just post a photo and description of how your child demonstrates Power Rangers values in action on the Power Rangers emPOWER wall!

For more information on the show, check them out online. Power Rangers: Samurai will be at it's regular time on Sundays at noon on Nickelodeon starting next week!

Disclosure: I was not paid to write this review. For writing this post I am entered to win a gift card from One 2 One Marketing. One 2 One Marketing gave me access to view the episode as well as information about the emPower Movement. All opinions are my own.

Dominick's - No more Expired Coupons?

Ugh...this is sad news. All over the coupon forums and blogs is news that Dominick's is no longer accepting expired coupons. It really is a store by store situation whether or not they will accept them - but I wanted to give you a heads up in case you hadn't read it anywhere else, to be gracious if your expireds are turned down at checkout. You may want to plan your trips without expired coupons and then if they let you use them bonus!

Even though they've adopted this as their official policy (supposedly as of October of last year), there are still some locations accepting them.
