Save Money on Dining Out! (The Frugalicious Show)

Bitsy is joined by dining out (and saving money) expert Monica DiNatale from 365 Guide http://bit.ly/mPjVS5

Monica's guide to dining out on a budget will help you save money without sacrificing the things you enjoy (like eating and drinking at restaurants!). Based in NYC, Monica highlights one hot deal or special at a local NYC restaurant or bar, every day, 365 days a year. In addition to spotlighting the best places to eat and drink on the cheap in NYC, she also has some amazing tips that will help you save money no matter where you live!

Some of her tips include following your favorites on Facebook and Twitter to hear about special deals in advance, asking about happy hours and specials (don't be afraid to look "cheap"!) doing research on specials and deals before you leave the house, and consider the time of day you're eating out. Here are some of the specific resources Monica mentions:

Do you research on Citysearch http://bit.ly/pXFCcf and Yelp http://bit.ly/pieINh.

Drink Owl is a free app that tells you money-saving specials and deals based on your location. http://bit.ly/nGaTwO.

Another good tip for saving money is asking if they have half portions of their food. Restaurant portions are so big sometimes and half portions usually cost much less then the full size.

One tip to save while dining out is get an entree and just split it with someone. One can save money and calories!

one other way to save money when dining out is to sign up for email clubs for some restaurants as they may send you back a voucher by email to redeem a free starter, entree or dessert. also, this can also be applicable for some retails stores as they may send you back coupons (ex.// 10% off) for their clothes just for signing up! :)
