We all love going out for a meal on the weekend, or treating ourselves to take away after a particularly busy day. But a lot of the time it can cost us more than we'd think. Eating out doesn't have to be an expensive activity! We have compiled eight tips to help you stick to your budget when eating out.
Groupon has endless deals for endless restaurants, just search for what's available in your area! These deals can save you a fortune, and they're so easy to find!
Lots of restaurants will post offers or deals on their social media pages, these can be anything from two-for-one packages, free drinks and desserts, or discounts.
Forgo a glass of wine or cup of coffee and just stick to water, and ignore the dessert menu! Just paying for once course will save you more than you might think. It's much cheaper to make coffee, dessert, and have a glass at wine at home.
While they aren't as glamorous, a buffet meal will ensure you get the most bang for your buck!
If you find yourself frequenting the same restaurant or cafe time and time again, see if they have a loyalty program you can sign up for! This might mean a free meal every few months, or a percentage off whenever you dine.
Some restaurants or fast food joints will gift you a free side or a discount when you download the app. Scour the internet to see if your favourite place is one of them! Hint: try KFC!
These are unfortunately few and far between, but you might be lucky enough to have a training restaurant in your area. This is where apprentice chefs and kitchen staff will cook while learning the ropes, and will be a fraction of the price of a regular restaurant.
You might have to have a snack before and after you go out, but a great way to get that dining out experience without spending big is to order one meal between two and share it. It's better than nothing!
