Do you always have difficulties finding things to buy for your friends and families for birthdays, holidays, or special events? Discount restaurant gift certificates are great gifts for many occasions, especially for families who have limited budgets but like to dine out.

Restaurant gift card is a great gift for people who do not like to cook, or simply do not have time to cook. It is also a great house warming gift. When you just move into a new home and try to get everything together, spending time in the kitchen might not be a priority. Instead of giving them a blender that they might have already, giving them restaurant certificates of their neighborhood restaurants is more practical and will make their life easier.

You can find discount restaurant certificates on the Internet quite easily. Here are four places you can get them online.

Restaurant.com sells restaurant gift certificates at a huge discount. You can buy a $100 restaurant certificates for $30.

3. Costco

I was browsing on Costco website the other day, and I realized they also offer restaurant certificates at discounted prices. Costco sells gift cards for several popular restaurants in my area at 20% off. Usually they come in a gift pack. For instance, they sell two $50 certificates for $80. Although they do not have a large selection, it is worth checking if you have a Costco membership.

4. Entertainment Books

Although Entertainment Books is not necessarily a "gift card," it contains many restaurant coupons. There are many "buy one get one free" type of discount restaurant coupons. Best of all, if you plan to buy Entertainment Books for your friends as house warming gifts, the book would help them to find out more about their neighborhood stores.

Entertainment Book has coupons for many popular national restaurants, such as Subway, Cold Stone Creamery, and Quizno. You can also find tons of local restaurant coupons in the books. They make great Christmas gifts since your friends will have an entire year to use all the coupons in the book.

I hope these four ways of purchasing discount restaurant gift certificates give you some ideas of what to buy for your friends and families who already have a lot of things in their homes. Giving a good dining experience is just as good as giving any physical gifts.
