Schadenfreude

Red Robin Gift Certificates go on sale at 7AM. The total cost is $28.50 ($25 + $3.50 for shipping) for a $50 gift certificate at Dine Madison. You'll want to visit this website at 6:55 and refresh your screen every 20 seconds or so as these will sell out in a few minutes. Have your credit card available as you only have a few minutes to complete your order.

For those who like to save money, eat out often and don't want the time challenge of logging in at 7AM, there is another website called Madison Discounts where you can save 60% or more and includes places like Olive Garden and Casa de Lara. Pay close attention to the Terms of Certificate area prior to purchasing. Larado's West for example is only good for dinner's on Sun-Tues. Shipping info is here and if you buy 5 or more you can get an extra certificate free by typing MadisonCoupons after your last name when you order. See details here.

I usually coordinate my order around the availability of Olive Garden certificates however these are often "out of stock". I've had luck checking for availability on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. Purchase limits of Olive Garden is set to one every 90 days. If you want to be notified on this certificate's availability send me an email or respond to this blog.

Lately a $10 certificate for Boston's Gourmet Pizza has been on sale for $1.50 a great deal however on Monday's and Tuesday's some have additional savings and you can even save more, look the for the red 'Special' underneath the restaurant name.
