Going Out for Food and Drinks


Going out in this say and time can become really costly and expensive. However, it's in our nature to be social and we as a people like to spend time with our friends and loved ones out of the house. Here are a few tips on what you can do to save money when going out for fun evening activities.
Don’t Order Unpriced Drinks. Ever go to a restaurant and the drinks don’t have prices? Ask the price. It could cost as much as your meal!
Check Your Bill. If you didn’t get all your food, make sure it doesn’t show up on the tab.
The “Special.” If the server doesn’t give you a price for the daily special, make sure to ask. It will usually be expensive.
Pre-Drink. Instead of two drinks at the bar, have one drink at your friend’s house before heading out.
Don’t Overeat. Skip on the appetizers and desserts. Better yet, split an appetizer, entree, and dessert between two people. Except if you can win a pizza contest :)
The Best Way to Save. The easiest way to save is obvious. Socialize more at home with your friends, using food and drinks from the grocery store.
