A new restaurant-deal newsletter is entering the fray, promising discounts of at least 50 percent at local eateries. InBundles offers daily deals (or “bundles,” as the site calls them), like $12 worth of sandwiches for $6 at Xie Xie and $50 gift certificates for $25 at the Orchard. The bundles change regularly and are only available for 24 to 72 hours. They’re also only valid if the minimum number of buyers purchase the deal; otherwise, nobody gets charged. While you’re subscribing to the site, here are some other ones you may want to check in with regularly.
