5 Tips to Save Money on Eating Out

Last week, Mark and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary, and we thought it would be nice to take the family out for dinner to celebrate! As a frugal freak, I’m always looking for ways to save money and cut costs. Here are some of our favorite ways to save money on eating out:

  1. Kids Eat Free — Visit kidseatfree.com for local restaurant deals featuring free kid’s meals. This can be a huge money saver, especially for those large families with several kids.

  2. Restaurant.com — Find deals on neighborhood restaurants and purchase $25 gift certificates for just $10! 

  3. Entertainment Book — Depending on where you live, and how often you go out to eat, the Entertainment Book can be a huge money-saver.

  4. Brochures from Local Hotels — If you live near any hotels, visit the lobby and pick up any brochures for local attractions. Many of these contain coupons for restaurants as well!

  5. Yellow Pages — Your local Yellow Pages is also a good source for restaurant coupons, and some even list several menus from restaurants (which could save you lots of time too).
