How to go out to eat for CHEAP!

I never ever go to any restaurant without a coupon! (Not even McDonald's unless I have a BOGO or something!)

Last night my family of 6 went to eat at Outback Steakhouse for only $8.48!!

.

 I used:

(2) FREE Steak Dinner Coupons,



(1) FREE Bloomin Onion Coupon,



and (1) $10.00 Gift Card that I bought for only $3.99 online when it was on sale.





We got: 


Steak with Grilled Mahi ($4.00 Upgrade)
Steak with Grilled Chicken ($4.00 Upgrade)
2 big baskets of Chicken/Fries ($4.99 each)
1 Bloomin' Onion Appentizer ($.49 after Coupon)
6 loaves of Bread and HoneyButter! (FREE)

(All that food on the table!! We were more than FULL!)


Our total was $18.48 but then we paid with our $10.00 Gift Card so the total was only $8.48!!! We gave a $6.00 tip! (Never forget to give your waiter/ress a GOOD tip!!)




Tip #1: If you are dining out with kids- consider ordering 1 big adult dish for the kids and have the kids split it. OR in my case, I ordered 2 Kid meals- a BIG bowl of chicken/fries.

Tip #2: Go to restaurants that have free appentizers- Outback has unlimited free bread and butter- that helps feed the kids too! Kids LOVE bread! MMM!

Tip #3: Never order drinks- Just go for water. My reason? Pop/Juice, etc adds more calories! Also drinks at restaurants are usually expensive. Water is FREE! Go for FREE!

Tip #4: Buy restaurant gift certificates online when they are on sale! (I WILL keep you UPDATED on this :) )

Again, never forget to give your server a good tip! :)
