In hotels, eat in the bar section rather than the restaurant section. The food is normally cooked in the same kitchen and prices in the bar are usually much cheaper.

Ask to order from the kids' menu. Several restaurants allow you to do this. Not only do you save money, but you also get a more reasonable portion. Besides, the toys aren't bad either!

If you like to eat out at nice restaurants you know how expensive it can become. I found a way to get a $25 gift certificate from Restaurant dot com and pay only $5.00. Just goto http ingoodhands dot com and click on their restaurant. com special offer.
