How to Save Money Eating at a Restaurant
The best way to save money when it comes to eating at a restaurant is to NOT eat at a restaurant! But if you must go out to eat, there are some steps you can follow to make your bill a lot lower! Step 1: SKIP THE ALCOHOLIC DRINKS -- Do not spend on drinks when dining out. Drinks can quickly and easily double your bill! If you want an after dinner drink, go home to have it! Step 2: DRINK WATER -- Restaurants charge a small fortune for soda, coffee, tea. Skip it! Order water and bring your own packet of powdered drink mix. They make single serving packets now! So order water and ask for a piece of lemon, lime, orange, or whatever fruit you like... and also get a cherry too! Then add your flavoring and you have a free drink! Step 3: LOOK FOR COUPONS -- Before you head out the door check the restaurant's website to see if they have any online coupons. If you don't find anything online, ask before being seated if there are any coupons available. Sometimes they have some right there at the hostess stand! Step 4: GET TO KNOW YOUR RESTAURANTS -- Before you go out, check websites or pick up the phone and ask the restaurant if there is a day when kids eat free or ask how long the lunch prices are available. Many restaurants will bring you the lunch menu for dinner if you just ask! Also ask if they have certain days when a certain meal is cheap. They may have a pasta day or a sandwich day... just ask! And always ask if you can eat free on your birthday! Many restaurants offer a free or discounted birthday meal... and cake too! Are you frugal? Do you love to save money? Read these articles!
