Sharing is caring right? Especially if you have a small stomach. Its easy to get carried away when you're hungry and you'll want to order a big plate of Chicken with Broccoli with an egg roll and a side of Edamame. You'll end up taking a doggy bag home or even throwing away what could have been a two meal deal. From a frugal perspective, its beneficial to both parties when you're eating out to split a larger meal, rather than purchasing two separate plates.
Some good places to share meals could be easier to think of than most people think. One of my favorite two for one meal deals is the Applebee's 2 for $20 meal where you get an Appetizer and 2 entrees. For ten dollars a person, you get a heck of a lot of food that can be your lunch the next day.
At any restaurant such as TGI Fridays or Unos, getting a sampler to share between two people is another way to save money. Sampler prices average about $13 and usually they are very filling. It also satisfies the craving of various foods so you get to try a little bit of everything.
Also, if you're like me and a five dollar foot long is too much, that is probably one of the cheapest meals two friends could share. Two six inch sandwiches at $2.50 a piece sounds like a great deal to me!
What are your favorite places to share meals with a friend? Would you rather save money and split a meal or is everyone on their own when it comes to dining out?
