skip the wine or any alcohol entirely including appetizers & desserts..It's easy.

We always get 3 or 4 or 5 appetizers instead of a couple of mains. More variety, better value. The desserts aren’t good value but if it was just about money you wouldn’t eat out, would you. Go crazy and get something you wouldn’t have at home.

Just go out and enjoy yourself. Don’t go to a place that you can’t afford and get what you want while you are there. Don’t try to out menu engineer the place who’s business is engineering a menu

I am a big soda drinker but I rarely order soda at a sit down restaurant. I will order tap water and then buy soda someplace else after we leave

OK, I eat out a lot, and I have noticed recently that a lot of restaurants here in Arizona, and I assume in places in the rest of the United States, are doing the European thing where they ask you if you want still or sparkling water, and you pay for the water. Now we’ve still been able here to say just tapwater is fine, but in Europe if they don’t do that so I assume that’s the direction they’re heading. And I assume they’re doing it because most people are not ordering sodas or iced tea because the prices of those have gotten so ridiculous, but the restaurant needs you to pay for a drink because they make a lot of money on it.

It’s hard to get a single serving dessert tho. $6-$8 vs $15 so a markup of 2x

Nothing wrong with being a decent human being and helping your local restaurant move its product along by buying the House special. Life doesn’t have to be me me me fk everyone else , all the time .
