Eat Local With GetMunch.com

Written by Jenni McEwen

Everyone wants to save money, that's common knowledge. Everyone wants to help support local businesses, that's pretty much a no-brainer too. Now, what if you could do both at the same time?

Now you can with a great website called GetMunch.com! They've partnered with local restaurants to help keep money in our area as well as promote healthy eating and help us all save a little dough too.

This is how it works; you sign up for a membership- it's only $5 for two years! ($3 for students)- then when you receive your card present it at participating restaurants and for each $10 (before tax) you spend you receive a point- as the points add up so does your savings. 6 points gets you a $3 gift cert.; 14 gets you $10 and 25 gets you $20. Our tummies get full, our economy gets full, and our wallets STAY full, it’s a win-win all across the board.

Some of the participating restaurants are, Thai Basil, Crepe Heaven, Cortese's, Sake-Tumi and Whole in The Wall.

Also, GetMunch.com has partnered with m.y. boutique. Just hand the cashier your GetMunch card and you'll get 10% off your purchase.

Buy local, save money... really how can you go wrong?
