++
Get $25 Restaurant Certificates for $10 or less
To get an extra percent off the already discounted price of certificates, look for the promo code in the graphic on the left, if any. (At the beginning of the month, no discounts are usually offered because the supply of certificates has just been replenished.) Enter that code at checkout. You will get a $25 certificate for only $10 minus that percent off the $10 price. So, for example, if the extra discount on the left is 50%, you pay only $5 for a $25 certificate. That is the deal at Restaurant.com.
Certificates are delivered quickly by email, so they are a perfect last minute gift idea. Each participating restaurant sets up its own rules. There may be a $35 minimum purchase before the certificate is subtracted from the bill, for example. Or it may be for dinner only, or for a certain number of people (usually at least two). Certificates sell out as the end of the month draws near.

2.5 Cents Long Distance -- No Monthly Min. -- Free 800 Number
Pay only 2.5¢ a minute long distance on ECG's state-to-state plan (lower 48 states). The rate is good all day, with no minimum usage and no high monthly fee like $5.95. (Pay $1.99 a month and a $2.99 reg. recovery fee plus the usual taxes.) They use real phone lines (not Internet), there are no special codes to dial, and you can get online billing charged to your debit/credit card or bank account. They use 6-second billing after the first 18 seconds, so you save more than with companies that round up to the next whole minute. This is conventional long distance telephone service, connected right to your telephone. Just pick up the phone and dial normally. You can also get a free 800 number that rings on your home phone (or wherever you designate), and you pay the same low rate -- 2.5¢ minute, with no monthly fee for the 800 number. This is a great way to let your kids call you without it costing them money. Instate and HI/AK rates vary. Here's more information.
