tip-diningout-easy---Avoid Appetizers

My husband and I have found that skipping appetizers ($7 - $10) and sodas ($3), saves us almost $20 when eating out! We can eat at a normal restaruant (like Chili's) for around $25 rather than $40. We always forget that a tip will also take up 15-20% of the tab! Another alternative is to get your food TO-GO! No drinks, appetizers or tip!
