Now a question everyone asks: what to do when you are lucky enough to spend time as a family but don’t want to go broke doing it? Whether we’re looking for a day of family fun or an evening of adult conversation the game plan is the same. Plan and budget carefully!

Consider the time of day and day of the week carefully

One of the easiest ways to save money on dining is to go out for lunch instead of dinner. Make sure to call or check online to see if they have any specials on particular days of the week or during certain hours.

Use coupons

Restaurant coupons are everywhere! Check online, in fundraising books, or newspapers. Local newspapers and television station websites are some of the best resources for local specials and deals on dining. The Entertainment Book is one of our favorite coupon books.

Discount cards or certificates
Look for discount cards or certificates like Restaurant.com, My Parent Rewards or search for a city specific discount card.


Join Rewards programs

Get points or cash back with rewards programs like open table, rewardsnetwork.com or earn CASH back from Upromise’s Dining program.
