In Austin there are quite a few ways to get more bang for your buck.
www.restaurant.com This is a good place for high end restaurants. Typically pay $10 for a $25 off coupon on purchases over $35. Right now use the coupon code PLATE and get 80% off. That's $25 off a $35 meal for a $2 coupon. I have used coupons from there for Paggi House, True Grits, Cafe Bleu, Austin Land n Cattle, and more
www.groupbuy.com/austin Deal a day websites. This one has all the sites that offer deals a day. For instance $20 for a $40 coupon for a restaurant. groupon.com , adealio.com, morgansdeals.com, and others
Entertainment passport book - This use to be an awesome resource for buy 1 meal get 1 free coupons. Still some good deals, just more get $25 a $75 meal.
For you cedar park folk coupons
Also, no need to go somewhere and pay for a drink when a lot of times on a date you just need to be with the other person. There is not much better than taking a nice bottle of wine, 2 glasses (don't forget cork screw and bug spray) and sit by the lake. There are parks all over Austin.
Some of my personal favorite spots are the Aboretum, Emma Long Park, Sandy Creek Park, 360 Bridge Park.
