A new week, a new Restaurant.com promo code... this time, you can get $25-off certificates for $2 using promo code HURRY. This offer is good through March 21, but they have them pretty frequently, so if you don't "hurry" fast enough, there'll be another promo code soon.

TGIF!

Feb. 28: Free pancakes at IHOP.

It's National Pancake Day at IHOP, and you can get a free short stack of pancakes at any of their locations today, Feb. 28! Well, you're just going to have to take my word for that, because their site looks pretty overwhelmed right now. Which probably reflects the size of the lines of hungry pancake lovers...

OK, who wants to go to Denny's?

Restaurant.com: $25-off certificates for $2.

Nothing new here, but if you're in the mood for dining out, Restaurant.com is having another sale on their $25-off certificates — most are just $2. Terms apply (usually it's $25 off a $35 purchase, and some have date restrictions or required 18% tip), but it can be a deal if you're looking to try somewhere new.

Use promo code MEMORIES to make the magic happen.

Free breakfast on Monday mornings at IKEA.

Did you know that IKEA offers free breakfast until 11:00 am on Mondays*? My grandma lives pretty near an IKEA. If I were retired, I would go there every Monday just to eat free breakfast and hang out... and maybe do some speed dating.

*This offer is limited to: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington.

$2 Restaurant.com certificates.

I know, that's pretty weak, but it's been a REALLY slow week for freebies and that's the best I could come up with. Get $25-off dining certificates at Restaurant.com using promo code DATE.

As always, be sure to check the fine print for minimum check amount, automatically included gratuity, etc., but it's still a pretty cost-effective way to try out a new restaurant.

Restaurant.com: $25 certificates just $1!

UPDATE: This deal is so hot, it broke their server! But don't worry, the discount goes through Dec. 24, so go have a peppermint latte or something and check back in a bit.

Looking for some last-minute stocking stuffers? Restaurant.com dining certificates are a great way to get discounts to restaurants you already know and love, or have just been wanting an excuse to try.

A $25-off certificate (generally off a minimum food purchase of $35) now costs just $1 with promo code JOY. There's usually some fine print, so check before you buy, but when else can you turn $1 into $25 this easily?

Dec. 16: Free "value" size fries at Burger King.

I've always thought Burger King had one of the better french-fry recipes in the fast food business... but starting in 2012, they're changing their recipe to be more "natural," whatever that means. However, on Dec. 16, they're giving away free "value" (aka $1 size) french fries, so you can try it for yourself and judge!

"The trend in french fries is toward more 'natural' offerings. That includes fries that are or appear to be made from fresh-cut potatoes and topped with 'artisan' toppings like sea salt."

I guess you just have to be there.

FREE $10 dining coupons from Restaurant.com.

You may remember this offer from last year, when Restaurant.com just started shooting free $10 dining certificates out of a cannon during the holidays, and it's BACK! Go to their Feed it Forward site and login with your regular Restaurant.com account (or create one) in order to start sending $10-off coupons to your favorite local restaurants. Send one to your coworker, send one to your mailman, send one to your yoga teacher! They're free, so why not?

You can send up to 40 a day, so get going!

Restaurant.com: 80% off dining certificates + buy 5, get 1 free.

Restaurant.com giving 80% discounts off their dining certificates isn't really new (use promo code GIFT through Dec. 7), but they're also running a buy-five-get-one-free special. It's a little vague on how it works, but it sounds like when you put five certificates into your cart, the sixth one won't appear to be in your cart, but will magically be delivered to you along with the rest.

Worth a try if you're already ordering a bunch as stocking stuffers, I guess!

80% off Restaurant.com coupons.

Just in time for the start of the holiday gluttony season, here's a special from Restaurant.com for 80% off their dining-discount coupons. A $25-off coupon (usually off a minimum $35 check; see restaurant's restrictions) will run you $2 when you use promo code HAM.

This offer is good through Nov. 15. Shop wisely, and you should have enough coupons to see you through an entire season of festive get-togethers...

Veterans' Day: Free Everyday Value Slam at Denny's on 11/11.

UPDATE: Sorry, Seattle veterans, Denny's says this isn't for you!

Veterans, here's a freebie just for you: "All active, non-active, or retired military personnel can get a free Everyday Value Slam (2 eggs to order, 2 pancakes and either 2 bacon strips or 2 sausage links) at participating Denny's Restaurants. Available from 6 am until 2 pm on November 11, 2011, just show a valid military ID. Limit one per person, beverages not included. No substitutions."

Serve our country, get served breakfast.

Restaurant.com certificates 80% off.

Once again, Restaurant.com is offering 80% off on their discount gift certificates, this time as a Halloween special. Use code PUMPKIN through Oct. 31 to get 80% off — a $10-off coupon will cost you just under $1, and a $25-off coupon will cost you about $2.

For those prices, you could almost use them as trick-or-treat handouts (at least the parents would appreciate them)!

Restaurant.com certificates 80% off.

Here's another old faithful: Restaurant.com has their dining certificates for 80% off using coupon code TOUCHDOWN (I think it's a soccer term?). You know the drill - basically you're buying $10-off or $25-off coupons for $1-2, and many of them come with minimum purchase amounts or other restrictions, but they can be a pretty good deal and there are lots of restaurants to choose from. Stock up and look like a big spender!

Restaurant.com certificates 80% off.

Restaurant.com certificates are 80% off again, using promo code TASTY. It's been a while since I ordered any, so I should probably check it out and see if any new places have popped up on the list lately. Or I could just order another coupon for my favorite Greek restaurant in West Seattle. Yeah, maybe I'll do that.

Restaurant.com certificates 80% off.

I just used one of these Restaurant.com certificates last week and it worked like a charm, so now is a good time to stock up again (although they never expire, which is nice too). Get 80% off dining coupons at Restaurant.com — meaning a $25-off coupon will cost you about $2, and a $10-off coupon will cost about $1.

Use promo code DEAL at checkout. Offer is valid thru Monday, June 13, so you'll have plenty of time to plan your summer dining goals. If only there was a "restaurants with patios" search filter...

IKEA: Free breakfast for dads on Father's Day, June 19.

IKEA offered free breakfast for mom on Mother's Day, so it's only fair that they're kicking down free breakfast for dads on Father's Day, June 19. Thrifty dads will enjoy fluffy scrambled eggs served with a side of hash browns, scrumptious bacon, plus a hot cup of coffee.

One free dad per table, so plan your checkout-line groupings accordingly. 

IKEA: Free breakfast for moms on Mother's Day.

Is your mom Swedish? Does she like breakfast? Or at least mass-produced plastic home items? If you said "yes" to any of those, you might want to take her to a free breakfast at your local IKEA restaurant on Mother's Day.

Breakfast goes until 11:00 am and includes fluffy scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, and a cup of hot coffee. Whether you want to treat her to a tube of prawn cheese spread from the deli after that is up to you (and your memories of childhood). 

Restaurant.com certificates 80% off.

You guys know the drill by now, right? Restaurant.com is offering their dining certificates at 80% off, or $2 for a $25-off-$35 certificate (usually with some restrictions), good through April 14. Use promo code STEAK to get yours — is that a subtle form of subliminal messaging?

Free cheese fondue at the Melting Pot, April 11-14.

This is pretty far in advance, but something tells me you might want to get your reservations in early for this one. Get a free cheese fondue for two when you book your reservation from April 11-14 using the special top-secret code for your location.

What you have to do is search for participating locations in your area, select the restaurant, and it will give you a promo code to give when you call to make your reservation for the eligible dates. Then, when you show up, you get a free cheesy fondue for two, no purchase necessary.

I've always wanted to try this place but had heard it was pretty expensive. A free fondue might make all the difference, though...
