I have been buying gift certificates from Birmingham Menus for a couple of years now – it is an organization that sells gift certificates for the independently owned restaurants in Birmingham (which happen to include all of my FAVORITE restaurants in Birmingham!!).
They have these great quarterly discount gift certificate sales where you can buy a $20 GC for only $12, a $25 GC for only $15, and a $50 GC for only $33. This is an AWESOME deal if you already go to these restaurants like we do! We stock up on them and save tons of money.
For instance, just last week I bought $230 worth of discount gift certificates for only $138 – that’s 40% off! And they are ALL places that we will go anyway, but by buying in advance through Birmingham Menus, we will save nearly $100!
They also offer an awesome gift idea: Group Gift Certificates. These certificates are good for any of 32 different independently owned restaurants in Birmingham, so you can’t go wrong by getting someone a certificate that is good at 32 of the best restaurants in town!
They just launched a brand new website that has great features and is really easy to maneuver – go check it out!! They are also now on Twitter, and are doing periodic Twitter giveaways – this week they gave away a $200 gift certificate!!!! So you definitely want to follow them for some awesome chances to win.
However, in the meantime, I have two $25 gift certificates to give away!!!
Here’s how to enter: Go to their website and then come back here and comment which of the restaurants listed is your favorite.
