FIRST KITCHEN BLOGS

In keeping with our cost saving series, we’ve explored the question- is there a way to still eat out/ socialize occasionally without it costing us our rent money?

What we‘ve found is that there are a lot of restaurants offering deals.  It could be the happy hour category where there are lots of good eats- chicken nachos, mini burgers or pizzas for example. And we’ve found that happy hour isn’t always the 5 o’clock hour.  Check and see what’s happening in your neighborhood.   

Or there are certain nights and/or times when restaurants are offering special meal deals.   If there is a place you want to try but it is out of your budget range, go for lunch.  Many restaurants have much better prices at lunch for many of the same dishes.  

Sharing dishes is a good idea too.  So many times the portions are too big for one. So keep your eye out for all of the creative deals before you splurge on the night out! There will be more deals, we can promise. Share you ideas for money saving good times.
