Budget & Insider Tips

Grandparent Money Tips

• Early bird menus (5–6pm) often cut 15–20% off the bill — and they usually apply on weeknights too, even if the sign only says weekend.
• Kids eat free or half-price at many diners on weeknight evenings. Ask at the host stand before sitting down — it's not always posted.
• Order water for yourself and let the grandkids pick one shared drink. Refills are usually free.
