More often than not, restaurants offer some sort of special. Most restaurants will offer happy hour discounts not only on drinks but on food as well. Do a bit of calling around to your local restaurants and keep notes on what restaurants offer what happy hours and when they do so. This will take about 30 minutes of your time but may end up saving you quite a bit of money when it’s all said and done. Other restaurants offer memberships (many of which are free) that give you 10-15% off your food and drinks and e-mail you about their special offers. Be sure to ask about these as well. Even if they have a small fee attached to the membership, oftentimes the membership will more than pay for itself after all of the discounts are applied. Don't have time to do the calling around? Check out Happy-Hour.com. They have a national listing of happy hour specials that you can search for by simply putting in your zip code. I checked a few of my local watering holes and the happy hours seemed to be pretty accurate. However, they were missing some of the newer specials, and often times missed out on some of the better specials. This is still a great resource to use in a pinch, however. Try this tip out and you just may save yourself a good chunk of change the next time you go out.
