Dining out on a Dime


Since our family only eats out 1-2 times every month, I'm definitely not an expert on this category. Not to say that we don't enjoy eating out, but we just find that the portions are huge (and mostly unhealthy) and it never ends up being worth the money we could spend on 4 meals at home.

On the rare occasions that we do eat out, I have found these sites to be very helpful:
  • Kids Eat FREE- My HUGE list of places to take your kiddos for FREE din-din
  • Restaurant.com - Here you can buy gift certificates for restaurants in your area. For example, you can buy $25 gc for $10 or $10 gc for a mere $3. Most of the time the "catch" is that you need to spend a certain amount, which you would probably spend anyway. They are always offering coupon codes so you can save an extra 50-80% off the already-reduced prices, making these gift certificates a screaming deal. You check-in at Mommy Saves Big for the latest coupon code (exp. date in parentheses).
  • Visit your favorite restaurant's website to sign up for their e-newsletter. Many restaurants offer specials once you sign-up for their newsletters.
  • Doing the pizza thing? Here are the latest pizza deals for Papa John's, Domino's, and Pizza Hut.
