This Sunday is Mother's Day, and that means restaurants will be packed with families taking Mom out for a meal. If you know her or your favorite place to dine, check the restaurant web site or do a good old fashioned phone call and ask what specials they have for Mother's Day.
When you visit or call, inquire about joining their e-club,insider club or member club for year long savings and special offers. Check your email before heading to the restaurant to see if the club you joined sent you a coupon or offer you can use on Mother's Day Dinning.
The best place I have found coupons for meals, shopping, and more is http://www.retailmenot.com/. You can add this app to your smart phone for on the go savings, or visit the web site to search for coupon codes and more online and in store.
