8. Skip deserts: Dinning out is a luxury but it’s not necessary that it should be expensive. A chilling desert or a cup of coffee might look like a perfect ending to a dinner but these can actually cost you more. Often desserts available in the restaurants are pricey than anywhere else. The best option is to have a desert somewhere else on the way back home. Also, you can buy a family pack ice-cream, take it home and have it peacefully. 

9. Skip drinking alcohols in a restaurant: In a restaurant alcohol is the product that gives them the highest margin. Many restaurants make the bulk of their profits by selling alcohol. Alcohols are the most expensive in a restaurant, then why to go for that as you can have some at your home too. Instead go for some soft drinks or sodas which are at least lesser in price. Wine is often marked up two and a half to three times its wholesale cost, which is why an 400 bottle in a liquor store will set you back more than 5000 in a restaurant. You can buy beer at 600 for a 12-pack at a beer store, but only get two beers in a restaurant for that price.

10. Do some research on restaurants!: Do a thorough online research on the restaurants you choose to go. Check out if the restaurant is worth your money and see what dishes are highly recommended by fans. Sometimes the opinions of the masses are more accurate than your friendly waiter. This way, you will not only get to spend the time at the restaurant actually talking to your family or friends instead of staring at a menu, but you will also have a plan in place.

With a plan, you will already know the cheapest option and you will avoid being tempted to over-indulge. Planning and choosing casual dining options, and making sure that you decide what you want to eat ahead of time can save a lot of time, and of course, a lot of money.
