How To Eat For Cheap

Now let’s explore some ways we can eat at a restaurant without it costing a lot of money.

Drink Water Instead

To save money, skip the soda, tea and coffe and opt for water instead. Not only will you save some cash, but not exposing your body to the sugar rush will be a good thing.

If you down a 16-ounce glass of water, that’s better for you anyway.

Go for a Salad

The most healthy thing you can eat in a restaurant is a salad. The added benefit is also that it will be relatively cheap when compared to another entree.

Go During Lunchtime

Another way to save at a restaurant is to eat there during lunchtime so you can capitalize on those lunchtime prices.

The portions during lunch hours may be a bit smaller as well, which your waistline will think you for.

Final Word

New Orleans has one of the best restaurant scenes in the Southeast, and with state of Southern cooking and an emphasis on the culinary arts at an all-time high, that’s saying something.

When New Orleans’ food is mentioned on a national level, it somehow always reverts back to gumbo, which is the best around, although the city’s eateries certainly represent those dishes well, there’s so much more.
