$AVING YOU MONEY: You can eat at restaurants without busting your budget By Cathy SpauldingPhoenix Staff Writer He said Chavas has a $4.94 lunch Mondays through Fridays. “If there is an older person who can’t eat much, I might let them order from a kid’s menu,” he said. Sometimes it pays to go ahead and order the meal and take home what you don’t eat — saving a little money on home meals. That’s what happens often at Napoli’s Italian Restaurant, 323 S. 32nd St., manager Gino Osmonis said. He said about 20 to 25 percent of his customers end up taking home leftovers. People also like to share meals, he said. “For example, if you and your husband are here and you are not that hungry we give you another plate and you can split. We love to please our customers.” 8 tips for saving when dining out 1. Go for lunch specials. 2. Look for a discount. 3. Order a dinner and appetizer and split it. 4. Make a second dinner on leftovers, eat the veggies and bread first. 5. Order only side items such as a salad and appetizer. 6. Dine when there are special discount or “kids eat free” days. 7. Drink water.
