4 Ways to Save with Restaurant Coupons
CouponsCoach - June 24, 2009

Whether you have guests in town or its just too hot to cook, sometimes a restaurant meal is just what you need. You can include eating out as part of a healthy budget when you utilize these couponing tips:

1) Sign up for e-newsletters. Check the websites of your favorite restaurants and sign up to receive promotional news and coupons via email. Youll also receive coupons for free food on your birthday.

Benihana offers an entire dinner ($30 value) on your birthday. http://www.benihana.com/email

Johnny Rockets offers a free hamburger with purchase. http://johnnyrockets.com/rockete-club/index.php

Longhorn Steakhouse offers a free appetizer when you sign up. https://news.longhornsteakhouse.com/lh_signup.jsp

Red Robin offers a free hamburger on your birthday; Ive also received coupons via email for free drinks and appetizers. http://www.redrobin.com/home/eclub.aspx

2) Check Disney Familys Coupons. In our coupons section, youll find printable coupons for Hardees, Carls Jr. and Johnny Rockets.

3) Check your newspaper inserts. Many of the big chain restaurants like Olive Garden, Red Lobster and Friendlys offer $-off coupons in the coupon inserts.

4) Look in your local newspaper. Small local papers often have ads and coupons for the independently-owned restaurants in your area. Ask your neighbors for recommendations about which restaurants handle kids well.

If youd rather forgo the restaurant meal and cook at home, check out these 15 Restaurant Favorites Made Cheaper:

Another idea is to search out coupon books that are often sold by non-profits or schools. They generally have great deals for local restaurants. Our preschool sells these books aimed at families with kids. They're a great way to help out a deserving organization and get good deals for yourself.

Lots of restaurants offer a Kids Eat Free option on off-nights (generally Mon, Tues, or Wed). So if you can go on one of those nights AND have a coupon, it's like a double bonus!
