From products to services, it seems there is no escaping rising costs.

Gas in our state is nearing $4, groceries are through the roof, and the only way to keep up with it all is to cut back on other things like.. dining out.

I don't know about you, but I eat out quite a bit. I've tried scaling it back over the last few years, with some success, but I can't beat what a meal out can save me in both time and energy.

An article I came across on yahoo.com offered a few suggestions so that you can still enjoy dining out, without breaking the bank. They offered 10 tips, in my story I gave you these five;

1. Have a snack

2. Try Appetizer dining

3. Take advantage of discount programs

5. Change the time you dine

I hope you find these tips for dining out helpful.
