Get $25 restaurant gift certificates for $2
Get gift certificates valued at $25, while you pay just $2 — that is not a typo.
As mentioned today, May 22, on the More With Less Today site, you can get this deal through Restaurant.com and by using a special code.
Here’s how you do it: Visit Restaurant.com to find a restaurant, search by ZIP code, select a restaurant, type SPECIAL in the ENTER DISCOUNT CODE BOX, purchase the gift certificate, print it, then take it to the restaurant.
The selection is somewhat limited, but if you find a restaurant that works for you, this is an amazing deal.
More With Less offers these tips as well:
Some of the restaurants have restrictions as to the day(s) that these can be used, such as midweek and not weekends or holidays. Other restaurants specify a minimum food purchase and add in a gratuity of 18 percent. Just read the fine print before you purchase, even with some restrictions, this deal can’t be beat.
Before you are able to print out your certificate, you have to by pass a few “bonus offer” pages, just look at the bottom of the page for the “no thanks” option.
If the restaurant hasn’t already added in the gratuity, please remember to tip your server for the full amount of the check before the $25 discount.

Bunn recalls single-cup coffee brewers
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall Thursday, May 21, of Bunn Single Cup Pod Brewers.
The CPSC said the pod drawer of the pod brewer can open unexpectedly during a brew cycle, posing a burn hazard to consumers.
U.S. manufacturer Bunn-O-Matic has received 10 reports of the drawer opening unexpectedly, including one report of minor burns.
The coffee makers were sold online and at department and hardware stores nationwide between August 2004 and March 2009 for about $300.
Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the recalled coffee makers and contact the firm to obtain two replacement pod drawers.

Best new car deals; best deals on American-made cars
In honor of Memorial Day and to mark the kickoff to the summer travel season, Consumer Reports has examined the best new car deals and the top 40 best deals on American-made cars.
Of the best new car deals, CR named the 2009 Ford Escape XLT 2.5L 4WD as best, with a $2,500 total available savings, which expires June 30.
Also on the list of current best deals are many models of Acura and Ford, as well as a Buick and Chevy. A little further down the list of deals are many Honda and Hyundai models.
As far as the top 40 best deals on American-made cars, CR judged the models on customer rebates and hidden dealer incentives.
Of note is that the list showcases a diverse assortment of 11 brands, “reflecting the global nature of the auto industry and the reality that most companies build cars in the United States. (Conversely, many models from Chrysler, Ford, and GM are imported from other countries.)”
Their top 5 cars made in America:
2009 Nissan Titan SE 4X4 Crew Cab SWB
2009 Ford Focus SES Sedan
2009 Ford Focus SES Coupe
2009 Nissan Armada LE 4X4
2009 Ford Mustang GT Premium Coupe
