Happy hour prices frequently lure diners in for lower prices or drink specials. Some restaurants offer special two-for-one dinners from a special discounted menu for early diners.
Don't be shy about using discount coupons for restaurants and dining out. Look online and in weekend newspapers for special two-for-one dinners or price discounts when the dinners total a certain amount.
The price for desserts adds a significant amount to the total dinner bill. If your dinner partner enjoys the same sweets as you do, share a dessert. If you can't come to an agreement, simply skip the dessert. This plan will save you money, as well as a number of calories.
A single coffee or tea adds more cash to the dining-out total. Skip the after-dinner drink and have your coffee or tea at home and you'll save enough for part of your next meal out.
Appetizers are another way to add to the bill, not to mention the calorie total for the meal. Skip the appetizers and stick with the quality calorie count during the meal to save bucks and fat calories.
One way you should not save money at restaurants is to reduce or eliminate your tips to the serving or wait staff. These folks work hard for the money and rely on tips to make a living.
Great list!!
Thanks for the ways to save money and still eat out. H5!
