One positive thing about the economy putting the squeeze on families finances is that it has not only forced families to be thriftier with their finances, but it has forced eating establishments to change with the times as well, offering lower prices, and more options. Our family doesn’t eat out very often, but I am reminded by the change by reading the emails that come to my inbox each week. It’s a win-win situation for most families because most families already eat out at least once a month anyway, and it will cost less because of some of the offers available. Restaurants have done what they can to not only stimulate the economy, but their own pocket as well, to avoid becoming the next victim of a restaurant closing.
Right now Chili’s has an awesome offer on their menu for “3 Courses for $20″. What does this really mean? Chili’s is offering a three course meal for two, for the price of $20. The offer includes an appetizer to share, an entree, and a dessert to share. Head to Chili’s to find out if your Chili’s is participating and to see what’s available on their 3 for $20 menu. My favorite on their entree menu is the Big Mouth Bites, It’s a toss up between the crispy onion strings and the burgers as to what I like best about the meal.
How about TGI Friday’s 3 course meal for $13.99? This is actually offered through their Give Me More Stripes program and a coupon is emailed to you. They have twelve entrees, five appetizers, and two desserts two choose from for their three course meal.

kfor.com has half off wednesdays where you can get $50 gift certificates for $25. I think kiss fm (Jack & Ron) have it on Thursday too. (I could be wrong on the day though!) Also kfor has holideals where businesses have half off deals. Last week was pickles and ice cream maternity store. I think that is on Thursday. I really should know, I watch Rise and Shine Oklahoma everyday, but my memory is mush right now.
I remembered that the Twister or another radio station used to do this. I had no idea they still did it. These are definitely worth the price!
