Eating Out for Cheap

Who doesn't like to go out for dinner. I know I don't like cooking every night, however restaurants are expensive and with the current economy more people are eating at home.

But fear not you can hang up your apron because there are affordable solutions for dining out.

USE COUPONS and gift certificates.

• Check out Restaurants.com for great deals on coupons in your neighborhood. They often have sales with a savings of 80% or more! But make sure to read the fine print because some have stipulations that come along with great savings. But it's 100% legit.
• Check out zSpotlight.com GREAT DEALS. They offer 1/2 gift certificates. They sell out quickly so check often and they are always adding more. I've heard the beginning of the month is a good time to check.
• Buy a coupon book. The Entertainment Book and Greater Raleigh Citipass are two of my faves. Sometimes you can download coupons from their website.
• Join E-Clubs. Alot of restaurants offer send out coupons via email to people that join their E-Club.
• Look through your junk mail. I find coupons for all sorts of things in my junk mail, right before I throw it in the recycle bin.
