It’s no secret that with the dip in the economy restaurants and retailers 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. Below is a list of restaurants that offer e-clubs that are worth signing up for.
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. Also, because most of these restaurants will send you a coupon for signing up, I recommend signing up for no more than 1 a week. Unless you go out to eat more than once a week, chances are you won’t be able to use all the coupons if you sign up for all of them at the same time.
3. Most of these restaurants will send you a coupon for your birthday. I don’t recommend lying about your birthday…but you can spread it out across your family. i.e. Use your name and birthday for a few restaurants, use your spouse’s for a few more, and then maybe the kids.

I agree with Rebecca, you can’t just google the word ‘coupons’ and especially ‘free’ because of scam artists and harmful programs that will affect your private information. It would be best to be more specific for example ‘pizza huts printable coupons’ to weed out undesirable websites.

yes, but always use caution when googling coupons, as that can be one of the most popular searches for cyber criminals to target with horrible viruses. Other risky searches include “work from home” and “free”
Pizza places usually send a few coupons to you as well.. last year we receive a free calendar from Pizza Hut which had tons of coupons in it.. I’m sure other places like Papa John’s does similar promotions and coupons.
Also, check online for coupons.. If you do a google search for coupons there are thousands of sites out there that allow you to print coupons to your favorite restaurants.
I got a good deal from Quizno’s the other day and used it yesterday. It was $5 for a Torpedo Sandwich w/drink and chips or cookie. I also have updates from Arby’s and got the free Roastburger w/drink coupon.
