Tips for eating out cheaply

Do you love eating out as much as I do? Do you want to save on a visit to a restaurant at the same time? Today I am sharing tips for cheap eating out. With these tips you can even eat out cheaply during the holidays.

Eating out, sometimes it's just necessary

If you're in the kitchen every day cooking, you sometimes feel the need to skip this. With a family that gets a bit tricky, because everyone just expects food on the table every night. Of course you can go to the snack bar around the corner and get something there or order something from Thuisbezorgd.nl, but going to a restaurant is a lot more fun. It is no secret that this can be quite expensive, especially with a family. Yet you can also eat out cheaply with a family. You can read how I do that below.

Tips for eating out cheaply

With the tips below you can enjoy a wonderful evening in a restaurant. In many cases, such an evening is even cheaper than ordering food at home. In addition, you can take a break and you can fully recharge. Not only fun to do with your family, but also fun if you go on a date with your partner.

Watch out for offers from restaurants themselves

Many restaurants have certain (days) special offers. For this, of course, you must have a particular restaurant in mind in advance and be able to search online for a special offer. Not every restaurant announces offers online. Then there is no other option than to go to the restaurant in the hope that they have a nice offer. This often involves a specific daily menu that is on offer or a 3-course dinner for an attractive price.

Free food on your birthday

Many restaurants like to receive a birthday boy. There are restaurants where the birthday boy or girl gets a free dessert, as was the case at the time at Robin Hood in Arnhem. We went here with my daughter when she turned 16. As a birthday girl she got a dessert on the house. But, there are also restaurants where you can eat completely for free as a birthday girl. In that case, you often have to come with a group. Search the net for a restaurant that offers you this opportunity as a birthday girl.

Private initiatives

Are you not afraid to try something new? There are also several private initiatives where someone cooks at home for a number of people. You pay a small contribution for the food and the fun. You do not know in advance who the rest of the group is and you also have to wait and see where you will end up. In addition, the menu is not always announced in advance. Nevertheless, this is a nice initiative for people who like to eat out cheaply.

Eat out cheaply with Social Deal

You have probably already noticed:I have already written a review about restaurants that I have booked through Social Deal. I absolutely love the app and go out to dinner with the deals on a regular basis. For 12.95 – 14.95 you can enjoy an extensive three-course dinner in the Arnhem region. The choice in restaurants is large, most restaurants have a very extensive menu, often also vegetarian options. The only thing you have to pay is drink. Some deals go faster than others, so you have to be on time. You are also bound to certain times. Don't you think all that is a problem? Then I wholeheartedly recommend this app.

Groupon

Another app I can recommend for cheap eating out is Groupon. This app not only offers restaurant deals but much more. Unfortunately, this app doesn't allow you to eat on the same day. You must make a reservation at least 24 hours in advance. The advantage is that you can buy an offer and also give it as a gift to someone else. Your Groupon deal is valid for 3 – 6 months. Some offers are the same as in the Social deal app.

Holiday Auctions

You also have the option of eating out for less on holidayveilingen.nl. Because this is an auction, you do not know in advance what the price will be that you will eventually have to pay. Also keep in mind that on top of the amount offered there are additional costs. In most cases this is 5.50 euros in administration costs. So if you have made an offer of 12.50 euros, you have to pay 18.00 euros. Whether you can take advantage of the offer directly depends on availability.

Downside:the range of restaurants is very limited.

Do you ever use the above apps, if so, which one is your favorite?
