Outback Steakhouse is running a holiday deal–buy $100 worth of gift cards, and then get a free $20 bonus card for yourself.  Of course, you don’t have to buy the gift cards for your friends; you can always buy them for yourself if you like to dine out at Outback and want to save money by buying the gift cards in advance like this.  (If you spend $100 to buy $120 worth of gift cards, you are saving 16% off every time you eat out with the gift cards.)
