LADIES ON A BUDGET?? DARLING YOU CAN STILL DO SOME DIVA DINING WITH THE GIRLS! I LOVE TO EAT OUT IN RESTAURANTS HOWEVER, I NOTICED THAT A BIG CHUNK OF MY BUDGET WAS SPENT IN DINING OUT! THAT BIG CHUNK OF MONEY THAT CAN GO TOWARDS YOUR BILLS OR MORE SHOES :)! AHHHHH, THE LIFE OF A DIVA IS NOT EASY! SO, BACK TO GIVING YOU SOME ADVICE ON GOING TO GREAT RESTAURANTS WITH YOUR GIRLFRIENDS AND STAYING ON BUDGET. ONE GREAT WAY TO AFFORD A GREAT RESTAURANT IS GO DURING LUNCH HOURS - HALF THE PRICE OF THE DINNER MENU AND THE SAME AMBIANCE.
OH AND ALWAYS, ALWAYS CHECK YOUR DAILY AND WEEKLY TOWN NEWSPAPERS FOR COUPONS! WHEN PAYING THE BILL JUST QUICKLY AND DISCREETLY SLIP THE COUPON IN THE CHECK BINDER WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD OR CASH. HELLO, THE ART OF STILL LOOKING LIKE A DIVA - NEVER LET ANYONE KNOW YOU AREN'T DOING WELL FINANCIALLY - THAT IS YOUR BUSINESS ONLY AND MAYBE YOU ARE FINANCIALLY WELL OFF - HEY! THERE IS NOTHING LIKE SAVING A FEW DOLLARS. MORE MONEY FOR YOU TO SPEND ON OTHER THINGS.
A GREAT WEBSITE YOU MUST CHECK OUT AND ALSO MY FAVORITE IS WWW.RESTAURANT.COM - SIGN UP!! AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE DINING CERTIFICATES FOR THE FRACTION OF THE COST! FOR EXAMPLE YOU BUY A $50 CERTIFICATE FOR A RESTAURANT - WELL RESTAURANT.COM HAS BIG SALES AND YOU CAN BUY THAT CERTIFICATE FOR ONLY$25.00. REMEMBER THAT TIP IS NEVER INCLUDED WITH THE CERTIFICATE PURCHASE.
ALSO, I LOVE GOING TO FAMILY OWNED RESTAURANTS. USUALLY THESE PLACES HAVE BETTER FOOD AND BYOB!!!!! HELLO YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN BOTTLES OF WINE - YOU SAVE SO MUCH! USUALLY A GLASS OF WINE AT A RESTAURANT CAN RUN FROM $5 TO $15 A GLASS!! AND THE BOTTLE MUCH MORE. BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT TO EAT, STOP AT THE LIQUOR STORE. GRAB A CHILLED BOTTLE OF KENDALL JACKSON FOR $12 BUCKS AND YOU ARE SURE TO HAVE A GREAT TIME AND SAVE LOTS OF MONEY.
YOU ALSO WANT TO ALWAYS CHECK WHAT DAYS THEY USUALLY HAVE BIG SPECIALS! OR ALWAYS ASK FOR THEIR SPECIAL MEAL OF DAY - IT'S USUALLY CHEAPER THEN THE REST OF THE MENU!
ANOTHER GREAT WAY TO DINE OUT FOR THE FRACTION OF THE COST WOULD BE TO CHECK OUT YOUR CITY'S CALENDAR OF EVENTS - LOOK FOR WINE & FOOD FESTIVAL, TASTE OF THE TOWN, TASTE OF _________, MIAMI SPICE (MY FAV)- THESE EVENTS WILL OFFER SIGNATURE DISHES CREATED BY WORLD-RENOWNED CHEFS AND TOP RESTAURANTS AT VERY VERY AFFORDABLE PRICES. THIS IS A FABULOUS WAY TO GO DINING FOR CHEAP! WOO HOO!
YOU MAY ALSO GO TO A RESTAURANT AFTER DINNER - FOR DRINKS AND TAPAS AND OR APPETIZER - THIS KEEPS THE COST DOWN. IN ADDITION, YOU MIGHT GET SOME LIVE MUSIC AND SOME MINGLING.
NOW, WHAT IF YOU HAVE KIDS! WELL, LADIES GO TO RESTAURANTS THAT OFFER FREE FOOD FOR KIDS!!! CHECK OUT WHAT DAY THEY OFFER - KIDS EAT FREE!
ENJOY YOUR DINING!
LA DIVA
