Here are a few tips for eating out with the little ones on a budget - thanks to the Kidspot Website.
- On weeknights, restaurants often have cheaper “meal deals” to get people though the door.
- There may be an early-bird menu which offers meals at cheaper prices if you dine between 5pm and 6pm.
- You can save money by feeding the kids at home. Order the kids a dessert at the restaurant while you and your partner enjoy a grown-up dinner served by someone else.
- There is a huge mark-up on both alcoholic and soft drinks (it’s where restaurants make their money!) and it can add more than a few dollars to the bill. Opt for water instead.
