Thinking about dining out for Valentines day? Here are some dining out tips to help the budget.
First, set a budget. Determine what amount your budget for dining will be--whether it is $5 or $100 and stick to it! You can stick to it by choosing restaurants and menu items based on the budget you have. If you only have $5, then choose a place with menu items that are only $1 to $2 (remember to factor in any tax), most likely a fast food place. If you have more to work with, again remember to factor in tax and tip.
Other tips: lunch prices are generally cheaper than dinner prices, so go out for lunch instead of dinner. Look for and use coupons. Watch for deals like kids night where kids eat free, or buy one get one free deals, daily deals--by eating out on a different day and time than the actual Valentines Day holiday, you may save money. Drink water and eat dessert at home. Share the meal, order one entree and split it.
Happy Valentines Day!
