Score Free Food with E-clubs
Saturday, November 21, 2009
It’s no secret that with the dip in the economy restaurants are doing everything they can to get customers in the door. What that means for you is that there are plenty of opportunities to score deep discounts and even free stuff. I find a lot of deals online and through my Entertainment Book, but most of my coupons come through e-clubs I’ve signed up for. Not all e-clubs are created equally, though. I’ve put together list of a few of my favorites for good money-saving deals. Keep in mind that offers are subject to change.
But first, let me offer some tips:
1. I always recommend setting up a separate email account for these types of transactions…that way your primary email account won’t get flooded with advertisements.
2. Because most of these companies will send you a coupon right away just for signing up, I recommend joining no more than one a week. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to use them all.
3. Many companies will send you a coupon for your birthday. I don’t recommend lying about your birthday to get more coupons…but you can spread it out across your family. i.e. Use your name and birthday for a few, use your spouse’s for a few more, and then maybe use the kids for the rest.
