There are a few restaurants where we have gotten pretty good at saving money.
PF Changs

First, you MUST go now and sign up for a Warrior Rewards Card.
When you sign up you automatically get free lettuce wraps on you next visit!
And each time you give them your phone number you help earn yourself more savings.
On our second time using the card we got 20% off our entire meal.
You don't necessarily receive a discout each time, but you help earn rewards each time you use the card.
Next you have to learn how to order right. PF Changs is actually designed to be more family style than each person ordering their own meal. If you just order Mongolian Beef, that could get kind of boring. So I suggest if you are ordering for two you order one meat entre, a small vegetable (only $3 and they are all great!), and maybe a lo mein or vegetarian fried rice, which is several dollars less than chicken fried rice. Your covering all your bases in the food groups and you are enjoy some variety on less. There are many options, but I always look at the options to keep the cost down, with out sacrificing flavor.
So next time you can enjoy PF Changs on your date night and not feel too guilty.

I'd say that is a steal.
I think kids meals are pretty much the way to go, because they have a drink included and are always cheaper! My philosophy is order it and if you actually do have to be under 12, they will tell you.
I hope you get to enjoy some of these tips and as I find more I will share!
I am a big fan of kids meals! Or if we are going to pick up fast food to take it home, then we don't order a drink and just drink whatever is at home. Sounds like we have similar financial things to watch out for - both pregnant and living in an expensive city!
