Eatting Out with Kids on a Budget



Eatting out can be expensive. Families with children often find that eatting out breaks the monthly budget. That does not always have to be the case. Many chain restaraunts are now offering, coupons, reward programs and special promotions, that make eatting out much more affordable.


TGI FRIDAYS
TGI Fridays offers many ways to save money while eatting in their restaurant. Coupons can often be found in the coupon magazines sent in the mail, and on their website and facebook page. In addtion to the coupons, they offer a wonderful reward program called Give Me More Stripes. Every dollar you spend earns points, and those points quickly turn into coupons for free food at your next visit. Also many times when paying the bill you will be offered a code to fill out an online survey. Those surveys are worth the 5 minutes it takes to fill out, because it is worth $8 off an appetizers at your next visit. They are having a current promotion where if you wear a costume to the restaurant on the days of Oct 29-31, you will receive a free appetizer while supplies last.  More information on the Give Me More Stripes program can be found at http://www.tgifridays.com/home/welcome.aspx.
