Tuesday Tips: Kids Eat Free

It's amazing how little bundles of joy can  change our lives.  We lay all selfish desires aside to feed, clean, play with, mold, and shape these young blessings that God has entrusted to us.

Along with these things, a desire to be more frugal also entered the Johnson home upon Cole's arrival.  We are now a one income family (which I wouldn't trade for the world) and have found ways to make the dollar stretch a little further than before. 
With Cole getting older (FOUR in November - crazy!), he often wants his own meal at restaurants when dining out - and definitely has the appetite for one :)  Finding places where kids eat free or at a discounted rate has been helpful and a budget-friendly treat.

Two great websites for looking up restaurants in your area where kids eat free are:


For those of you close by, here are a few restaurants in our area with some great kid deals. . .

Great ideas! I love Sky Mesa in White House. On Monday and Tuesday all day you get one free kids meal including drink with each adult entree purchase. Only stipulation is that you have to eat at the restaurant.
