10 Ways to Save Money When Eating Out

With our busy lives, it seems more and more of our money is going towards eating out. In fact, I read recently that 40% of food money is spent on eating out. Here are some tips to help lower the amount you spend.
1. Go out for lunch instead of dinner. Lunch prices are usually much lower.
2. Check to see if your restaurant has promotional evenings. Some restaurants have nights where kids eat free. This alone can save you at least $10 if you have 2 children.
3. See if the restaurant offers frequent visitor cards. This may sound cheesy, but some Mexican and Chinese restaurants offer punch cards for their frequent customers. Each time you go in, you can get your card punched and earn free dinner.
4. Order water. Sodas, tea, and alcohol can really spike your bill.
5. Purchase an Entertainment or Attractions Book. Each year, we buy at least one or two Attractions books. Most of the coupons are for buy 1 meal get 1 free. Not only does this save money, but this allows to you try new restaurants without feeling bad about the prices.
Pick your restaurant of choice coupons
I found a great website for restaurant coupons. You can just put in your zip code and find coupon deals for your local restaurants. That way, you can find resaurants in your area adn not have to be disappointed by great restaurant coupons that you can’t use. The coupons are something like 50% off and you pay $3. At our restaurants, that would be a great deal. Enjoy.
