I love having girls nights, but sometimes everyone gets a financial belt tightening. I refuse to let that ruin our fun!! I purchased an SUTP coupon book recently (sometimes it's ok to spend money to make money) and there are a lot of great ways to enjoy time out with your friends in there.
-Buy one get one coupons. These are great for a quick snack, a meal, or a movie. There are several available in these books, and if you keep your eyes open I'm sure they are other places as well
-Discounts on meals. Or better, restaurants that offer a special for a starter and two meals, I've seem some for as little as $25 so adding tip and drinks, less then $20 each for a nice meal out, and if you combine it with a two for one movie you can have a whole evening out.
-I choose to do one thing each time. Either dinner or a movie, window shopping and luch, or just shopping alone.
-Everyone has differnet movies, so finding a buy one get one pizza and watching a movie one of you owns but hasn't seen in a while can be a great girls night. Put on some pajamas and open some wine for a great gossipy night.
-Several restaurants offer Kid Eat Free nights, with the purchase of an adult entre. This can be a great way to have a night out with your family, and in some locations you can find a restaraunt each day with this offer, so you go out when you want. Please check websites for restaurants near you to see their policies.

-Watch commercials in your area for special offers from local restaurants. I know in my area there is currently a deal at Olive Garden (one of my favorites!) that allows you to purchase a meal and receive another to take home for the next night. This allows you two wonderful meals for the price of what a fast food stop would be, and you get to enjoy a night out for one of them.
- Purchase only what you will eat when you are out. I know when I go out I won't finish my meal, so I will often get something small for my daughter and share my meal with her. This way it gets eaten and I'm not ordering her a whole meal.
