Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
6 ways to get the best value when dining out.
More and more Americans are leaving home and dining out for
their meals. In 1999, restaurant sales reached an all-time
high, totaling around $354 billion. That equals close to 1
billion dollars a day.
If you find more and more of your money going to the restaurant
industry than a little frugality can be a economic lifesaver.
Tips
1) Dont be afraid to share
Sharing food can be fun and save you money. Try ordering several
appetizers to share without buying an entrée or splitting
an entrée. Depending on the portions, this idea can
save you money and your waist line.
2) Save the glass, get the bottle
When purchasing wine, your best value comes when you order
by the bottle. You could also bring your own bottle of wine
and pay the cork fee.
3) Substitute your beverage
Give seltzer water or club soda a try instead of the expensive
brand mineral waters.
4) Reject the side
Sometimes your side dish may cost extra. If so, dont
buy them. This usually implies that the entrée is enough
food by itself.
5) Do lunch
Savings during the lunch hour can be substantial at most dining
establishments.
6) Wait till the end
When dining at a buffet, you will find the higher-end foods
are at the end of the line. Fill up on the more expensive
items instead of bread and salad.
