Eating out doesn't have to empty your pocketbook. Reports show that more than 75% of adults age 55 and older clip coupons to save money. So there is no reason why you cannot eat well and save money, too! The next time you get tired of eating in, there are all kinds of ways for active seniors to save dollars when eating out.
1. Dine out at restaurants that which frequently offer coupons or regular discounts for seniors. Be advised, though, that many restaurants offer senior discounts only on specific nights of the week.
2. Ask about unadvertised senior discounts or menus. Most times you have to request it in order to receive the senior discount.
3. Order the daily special, or better yet, order breakfast, which tends to be cheaper than buying lunch or dinner.
4. Eat out Monday through Thursday. Restaurants usually are less busy and crowded on these days, so you can save even more on the daily specials.
5. Scan Sunday newspaper inserts each week for restaurant and fast food coupons.
6. Check on the back of restaurant receipts for free food offers in return for completing a survey.
7. Pick up the free magazines usually available at local tourist bureaus. You might overlook this source for coupons if you are a native to the area. However, tourist magazines typically are full of discounts offered at local restaurants.
8. Inquire whether a favorite restaurant offers early-bird discounts or two-for-one menu specials to seniors. - 15224
