Eating out frugally

My boys and their cousins went skating this week. One of their cousins said he went to Ponderosa for lunch. Of course everyone was a little envious. On the way home this boy said he was having steak and shrimp for dinner. We all thought, wow! This boy is 13 yo. His dinner came with the buffet, so he filled up on the buffet and took his dinner home to eat later. Why didn't I ever think of that?!?! He's already frugal.

What a smart idea. I would have never thought of that either. I love buffets, they are always so inexpensive and when you can eat all you want. Way too go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pat that child on the back for us.

We do that at Maveric Steak House..... The waitress told us that lots of people do..... My youngest eats for free there, he only likes the stuff on the buffet so we order him the steak burger or shrimp and dh & I have it for lunch the next day.... dd makes a steaks sandwich out of hers and packs it for lunch....What a treat !!
