Local Daily Deal sites for Baton Rouge, La.

Here are the daily deal sites: It's hard to pay full price at a restaurant anymore.

www.livingsocial.com

Here's the thing about restaurant.com, It's not great in Baton Rouge. If Rafael and I know we are going to travel to another area, I look up certificates for that city and we eat cheap in other places. I often get codes for $2.00 for a $25.00 certificate. There aren't many participants in the Baton Rouge area and if you buy one for Baton Rouge, call the establishment BEFORE you go to make sure they are still taking it. We had issues with Sakura and Arzi's who are no longer participating and there seems to be a feud between these establishments and Restaurant.com.

We had no problem using our restaurant.com certificates at Maggio's and at a restaurant in Texas. It can be hit or miss so do you research. If you do get a certificate and call the establishment and find they no longer take it, Restaurant.com WILL exchange it for you. New Orleans has lots and lots of restaurants to choose from on the website. Sign up to to get email promotions and you will get the 80% off codes too. First you'll get 70% offers but hold out for a few days and they'll offer the 80% off code.

Also look for the rules and restrictions. Many $25 certificates can only be used with a minimum purchase of $35. So let's say you paid $2.00 for the certificate and your restaurant bill is $40, you pay $15 out of pocket at the restaurant for a total of $17 all together for a $40 meal. Not bad.
