When you have two kids and you’re on a limited budget like me, you always look for deals and bargains out there to make it easier on your wallet. I always take advantage of museum discount tickets, or even better free Tuesdays at the San Diego museums, zoo memberships, food and restaurant coupons, and of course, our local library.
If you live in the USA, you’re aware a number of restaurants try to lure you in by offering free kids’ meals on specific days. It’s not that kids eat a lot and you’ll break the bank by taking them out, but most kids’ meals cost around $5 each, so multiply that by the number of kids and it quickly adds up to the final check. I always find myself looking for a good list of restaurant deals and the other day, I finally stumbled upon one that seems very complete, so I thought I’d share it with you. I found the list below at http://www.frugalliving.tv/free-stuff/kids-eat-free.html and I recommend you always contact the restaurant to make sure the free kids’ meal is available, since local restaurants may not participate in the national promotion.
You can also visit Kids Meal Deals website to search for a restaurant that offers free or cheap kids’ meals by zipcode. That’s a convenient tool when you’re away from home and not familiar with the restaurants around you.
So if you’re out and about and looking for a place to eat with your kids without breaking the bank, here is the list of restaurants that lets your kids eat free (or for very cheap) on specific days. Bon appetit!
