As I mentioned yesterday, I go for wherever I can get kids-eat-free (or cheap) when my husband's out of town. If I'm particularly good I can feed all four of us for under $10 (thankfully my kids aren't picky and will eat just about anything, including greasy food at chain restaurants that we would ordinarily avoid). Honestly, if I went to the store to pick food up to make dinner I'd spend more than that, and the experience eats up so much time that it's totally worth it.
So here's the list I keep, and you can check out Coupon Divas (national only) and My Kids Eat Free (last includes local restaurants) for more ideas! (p.s. you might want to call ahead, since some places have limitations like only one free meal per adult)
