Today in our $20 Tuesday segment my family of four went out to eat. We went to Julie’s Café on Green Bay’s west side. We did it! We ate, and ate well, for just under 20 bucks. That included tax and tip. But you know what?? It took some work! We spent a lot of time figuring out what to order so that it would fit into our BUDGET and not necessarily picking something we were in the MOOD to eat.

But, hey, these days a lot of people are doing a lot of things they wouldn’t necessarily do just to get by.

If eating out is your thing and you still want to do it while you are on a budget — let your fingers do the walking. Check out these websites:

www.kidseatfree.com

www.kidsmealdeals.com

They are a just a couple I found that list places where kids eat free, or for 99 cents, on certain days. Remember, I found these on the internet — so no guarantees that it’s all accurate. (Be sure to call ahead!)

We also got a few emails from our viewers:

From Eva in Manitowoc:

Ponderosa on Tuesdays from 4pm to 7pm

All you can eat buffet includes dessert. Kids eat free only pay for drink

From Alissa:

Kid’s eat free Tuesday nights at Red Robin and they also have the Red Robin mascot walking around in costume and handing out balloons for the kids, so it is lots of fun!

Fazoli’s also has a kids eat free night either Tue or Wed (I don’t remember which).

Let’s keep the conversation going!
