Eat an Appetizer

My husband and I have 3 children (ages 3,2,1) and one income. We still enjoy going out on dates, but the cost of eating out takes a lot of the fun out of the evening. In order to save money, we sometimes eat a sandwich, or something else cheap and easy at home before we leave, and then just get a soft drink and an appetizer at a restaurant. We get the "feel" of going out, and we get the quiet time for conversation without the killer bill at the end. - Submitted by Kelly
