Eat for Cheap

If your looking for a good deal on food, then one place for it is www.groupon.com. You can also get other things besides restaurant food savings. Subscribe to them and they will email you a few of their deals. You can customize what areas you are most interested in such as restaurants, entertainment, etc.

Facebook is also a great way to get freebies or discounts on food among other things.  You can visit a restaurant's Facebook site and subscribe to them to get announcements for freebies, contest prizes, or other discounts. I once got a free pizza this way and just had my free appetizer for lunch.  Just go search for the restaurant site that appeals to you.  Then beside their "Like" icon is the cogwheel and down arrow icon. Click on "Add to interest List" and name your list such as "Restaurants". Add as much restaurant sites to this interest list where you can easily receive their announcements.



Another way to save money and have fun, consider your own vegetable/fruit garden. Save the seeds from your bell pepper, cantelope, etc.  I do Okra every year since it is so easy to grow and I save the seeds for the next year planting. Try Watermelon/ cantelope growing. Believe it or not, little planting space is needed for this- you do need a lot of sprawling space like 8-10 ft on my brick patio.
