Drink Water

To save money when eating out, drink water. This seems like a no brainer, but most of us still give in to the habbit and order tea or soda pop when we are seated at a table. If you have taken a look at menu items lately, you will notice that when resteraunts are hurting they always make the money back in one way or another. Sometimes they charge for extras like sour cream, elimimate free drink refills, or they simply hike the price up on entrees. In 2010 I personally have seen drink prices rise at multiple places that I eat, some going for $2.50 a glass. By drinking water at our meal, a family of 4 cuts their ticket by $10 each time. That adds up!
