    I save money buy stocking up on restaurant gift card promotions for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Graduation and Christmas, when many places give bonus cards when you buy a gift card. Places like Outback usually offer $20 in bonus cards when you buy a $50 gift card during these promotions. You also get a Senior discount on your meal, making it a SUPER deal! Gift cards can be used year round, though the bonus cards are usually only good for a set time. Every little bit helps!
