If Eating Out is Your Form of Socializing

We eat out often with friends, more for the commraderie and relationship than for the food. To cut costs without giving up the routine I sometimes just

order soup;
or forgo ordering an alcoholic drink or a soda and instead order water;
or order a baked potato or a baked sweet potato as my main course;
or order two or three side orders such as corn muffin, stewed apples, coleslaw or green beans;
or use a coupon;
or split a meal with my husband;

Afterward when driving around with the friends, go through the drive up at McDonald's we all order coffee to sip while enjoying each others' company.

Or go the grocery/deli and have an impromptu picnic with friends at the park.

Or just eat at home and meet at the restaurant and buy dessert only with a water. I always try to use coupons too, which really helps.
