Dining out on a budget...

Who doesn't love eating out?  If you have just started a budget with the aim to clear debt first then this post may not be for you, but if you have a budget that includes some entertainment then eating out may be a given.


We live in South Australia so things could be a little different between states.

We have a few ways of eating out that enables us to not have to pay full price.  There is no shame in only wanting to pay for one meal if they are offering it, after all the extra money stays in your pocket, they get new (or more) people through their doors as intended - a win all around if you ask me.

1.  Check out your local council paper (the one that gets thrown on your driveway each week) you will be amazed at what you may find.  In the picture above is a voucher for our local Primos Caffe.  Buy 1 meal get 1 free, there were 3 of these vouchers in the paper - Perfect for a budget friendly dinner out.

2.  Supermarket receipts - on the back of your receipts sometimes you will find "buy one get one free" meals for nominated hotels.

3.  IF you are in the position to purchase then The Entertainment book is also great value.

These are just a few ideas, if you have anymore in your local area feel free to add them below, the more that is shared the more everyone benefits!
