$$$ Dining Out on a Budget $$$

Everyone's trying to save a few dollars these days, whether it's by shopping for bargains on Ex-cessories.com or penny pinching on groceries. That's why we decided to share some tips with you for those nights that you just gotta treat yourself:

1) Choose restaurants in the mid-priced range (entrees below $20)- it's sure to make a difference when a guy chooses a $17 piece of fish vs. a $33 filet- why tempt him?

2) Order a glass of the house wine- there's no need for fancy bottles, who are you trying to impress and the house is often just as good, if not better!

3) Skip the appetizers- sure they're fun, but I promise you'll have enough to eat with your entree!

4) Stick with water- unless you're an iced tea or soft drink fanatic, water is better for you anyway...

5) Save dessert for later- obviously not if they have that irresistible creation on tonight's menu, but chances are, you'd be happier with TCBY afterwards and it gives you and your friends or you and your date a chance to continue the night further!
