No matter which way you look at it, cooking at home is the most economical way to go. But parents need a break from the kitchen sometimes, and everyone needs a change of routine now and then. There are a lot of restaurants that have kids eat free specials, and you can always phone around to find out what’s available. Start by saving time and money by checking a list of places with children’s offers.
Before you head off to take advantage of one of these offers, just call ahead and make sure the offer is valid. Not all franchises will opt to run a special, or they might have chosen to adopt a variation on the theme. Use this list as a starting point and take it from there.
Always check the T&C. You may have to spend a certain amount or order entrees before qualifying.
