Many people don't know that you can actually buy discounted gift cards to restaurants and stores online. I always keep an eye on gift cards that are available because a $5 discounted gift card is essentially $5 off your next date night!
One of the most popular sites to buy and sell gift cards is Raise. You can sign up on their site here: (https://www.raise.com/raise-rewards/MROETZEL1185) to get a $5 bonus to spend! This is a great place to buy your Starbucks, Walmart, or restaurant gift cards for a discount! I usually buy discounted Starbucks cards online. I go through so much coffee, I might as well try to save when I can.
I also use Ebay for all of the discounted cards I buy! The following link is the type of card I would typically buy online to save money on eating out. This is for a $50 gift card to Applebee's for only $42! Don't worry, Ebay has a money-back guarantee that says you get 100% of your money back if you don't get what you've paid for. I have been doing this for a while, and have never been disappointed.

Many people list gift cards on Ebay that they received as gifts and won't use. This next one is a link to Cold Stone Creamery for $10 that you can buy for $7.42. If you eat at these restaurants regularly, it's a great way to save a little extra!

Kroger is the third option for gift card bonuses. If you shop at Kroger, you can also maximize your fuel points by buying gift cards. These will be full price cards, but it allows you to save on gas. Right now, you can activate 4x the fuel points in your Kroger app. I usually do this around Christmas or Black Friday when I'm buying gifts from specific stores. I will buy Bath and Body Works or Starbucks cards (where I know I'll be shopping) from Kroger just to build up my points.
Let me know what deals your find on your gift cards!
