The average American household spends about $3,154 eating out each month, according to data from the National Restaurant Association. This includes dining out at restaurants, fast food chains, coffee shops, bars, and other eateries. If you are looking to cut down on your spending, here are some ways to do it. 1. Take Your Meal Outside If you don't want to spend too much money, consider taking your meal outside. A study found that people spent less money overall when they ate outside versus inside. In addition, diners had better experiences when they dined outdoors. For example, outdoor seating was more comfortable than indoor seating. 2. Order One Dish Per Course Another way to keep your budget under control is to order one dish per course. When ordering multiple dishes, you might end up paying for extra items like bread, appetizers, dessert, etc. By ordering just one dish per course, you'll pay for everything included in that dish. 3. Ask About Discounts Many restaurants offer discounts for students, seniors, veterans, and others. Be sure to ask if there are any discounts available. Some restaurants even give discounts to those who bring children along.
