Dining Out Without Breaking the Bank

If there’s one thing I like to do it’s eat out.  I’ve never been very good in the kitchen. Don’t get me wrong, I try hard, but if given the choice between cooking and going out to eat, going out to eat almost always wins!

Because of the state of the economy, like many parents, I am now always looking for discounts and deals to help lessen the costs of dinner out.

This morning I found a great article in the Columbia Daily Tribune that provides a list of national restaurants that offer discounts for children.

Here are some of my favorites that you can find here in the great Cincinnati area:

Applebee’s: On Mondays, children get a free meal with every adult meal purchase. Additional kids’ meals are $1.

Buffalo Wild Wings: Children 12 and younger can eat for 99 cents from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday.

Cici’s Pizza: Children 3 and younger always eat free.

Fazoli’s: Kids’ meals are 99 cents with the purchase of an adult entree from 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays.

IHOP: From 4 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, each child 12 and younger gets a free meal with each adult meal. Drink is not included.

Ruby Tuesday: Children 10 and younger eat free Monday through Thursday, with each paid adult entree.

Steak ‘n Shake: For every $8 spent by an adult, one child eats free. That’s on Saturday and Sunday.

TGIFridays: Children 3 and younger eat free on Mondays and Tuesdays.
