- Eat out during lunchtime. Many restaurants offer lunch-sized portions and lunch specials, which are normally cheaper than dinner.
- Take home any left-overs.
- If you are craving Chinese food for dinner, pick it up during lunch and order from the Lunch Specials side. This can usually save you 50%.
- Skip ordering over-priced alcoholic beverages.
- If your kids are small enough, you can have them split an entree instead of ordering two entrees from the kid's menu. Also, most restaurants won't mind if you bring your own sippie cup (some will even fill it for free) for toddlers.
- Use restaurant coupons.
- Find local restaurant coupons at Valpak.com for savings in your area.
- The Entertainment Book has dozens of restaurant coupons for many large cities across the United States. Tip: If you wait a couple of months into the new year, you can usually get them 1/2 price.
- Ask your favorite restaurant if they have an E-mail Club. Usually you'll get a coupon upon signing up and another one to celebrate your birthday.
- Avoid tourist-oriented restaurants and locations. These tend to usually be priced higher.
