How to Save Money when Eating Out.

We all like to eat out once in a while. It gives us a break from the kitchen and it is nice for someone to wait on us. But now a days with the economy the way it is, it can get expensive to eat out. When eating out at fast food restaurants, they always have specials to bring in the customers. Dollar burgers, dollar chicken sandwiches. They get you with the drink and the fries. So, if you can order the especial sandwich and a water or bring your own drink. The fries is more calories anyways. You can walk away with a meal for under $2.00

If you are eating out at a restaurant the same applies. Drinks are expensive and not good for your health, order water with lemon. Stay away from ordering appetizers and dessert or order an appetizer instead of a dinner plate. Look over at the menu and there are always specials or coupons you can get from the paper when eating out. Also, if you go early you can order from the lunch menu which is usually cheaper than dinner. Also, if you order the food for take out you can save on the tip!

And of course there is always the trick my ex-husband used to pull. He would call the manager and manage to pull a hair out of the food and get the bill taken care of....lol I am glad I don't have to go out with him anymore because he used to embarrass me.
