Interesting and unusual money-saving tips
Consider Takeout Instead

Restaurants tend to have many expensive but low-value products and services. Appetizers, coffee and cola, alcoholic beverages, and desserts are where restaurants make most of their profits. Let's not forget that tipping a server 15% can amount to a lot of wasted cash too.
  • A slice of cake at a restaurant can cost as much as $5.00. For that price, you can buy an entire cake at your supermarket
  • They charge $1.50 for a coffee, you can brew a whole pot for $0.50
  • A slice of garlic toast goes for as much as $2.50. How much would it cost you for a slice of bread and a teaspoon of garlic butter?
Next time you want to take the family out for dinner, consider calling the restaurant ahead of time and placing a takeout order instead.

This way you get the quality restaurant meal and get to dine in the peace and comfort of your own home. Provide your own appetizers, drinks and desserts for a fraction of the restaurant cost.
