Tricities Tuesday: Kids deals at restaurants

My Daughter’s Legacy secret word list:

July 25: restaurant
July 26: eating out
July 27: drivethru
July 28: budget

 

Probably the biggest saboteur in my budget is eating out.  Yes, I had to google the spelling of saboteur. But let’s stick to the point here.

Scenario #1:  My family is always on the go.  We sometimes go weeks without doing a “real” grocery shopping trip.  As I’ve said before, I’m not a huge stockpiler, so I don’t have months of beans waiting in the pantry in case of Armageddon.  If the disasters of 2012 indeed hit, we’ll be finding the nearest Extreme Couponer in our neighborhood because it’s not me.
Scenario #2:  we have food in the fridge but I’m not there to cook it.  Rather than force my kids to wait until 10:00 pm to eat, we make the conscious budget-killer choice to eat at a restaurant.
Scenario #3:  I’m just too lazy to do it, even to eat out at home.

To make this a little less painful, I’ve attempted to compile a list of Tricities restaurants that offer discounts   Having the chance to get kids deals at restaurants softens the blow of a dinner out on the budget.  Maybe no one else reads it but me; still, I’ll have a handy-dandy reference in case I need to justify a meal out of the house one night. 🙂    These discounts were valid recently; always check with your specific location to see if they honor it before you load everyone up; nothing like expecting a yummy restaurant meal only to have it dashed from your plate.  And that’s just for mom; imagine what it’d do to the kids.

Let’s just clarify that most of the kids’ meal pricing comes with the requirement of buying at least one adult entree with it.

Monday:  Chick Fil A–free chicken sandwich with church bulletin

Tuesday:  Fazoli’s kids meals=99 cents

Wednesday:  Applebee’s kids meals = $1.99

Thursday:  Picadilly–(my kids’ favorite!!)  — kids meals 99 cents all day

Friday:

Saturday:  Picadilly kids meals 99 cents (11 AM – 4 PM only)

Sunday:

Daily:
Atlanta Bread Company—kids get a free cookie with kids’ meal
Perkin’s—kids get a free cookie with kids’ meal
Golden Corral—kids under 3 eat free, ages 4-7 (?) have reduced price
Sonic–1/2 price drinks from 2-4 (so head over on your way home from school!)

I’d LOVE it if you’d help expand this list!  If you know of more deals, please let me know.

If you don’t live in the Tricities area, check out this list of other restaurants that offer discounted meals.  You just might find something in your neck of the woods!
