Did you even know that your kids eat free at some amazing restaurants? I was turned on to this trend way back when I was in MOPS a handful of years ago. One of the leadership team members contacted all of the local restaurants in our county to find out if they offered a kids eat free program and what it entailed. She then took that information and typed it up, laminated it, and added a magnet to the back for every mom in our group. I had that magnet on our refrigerator for a couple of years.
I was thinking about this a few weeks ago and since we are planning our Summer trips I wanted to created any easy to access list for us! Now that we have 4 children but the oldest is 13 and is considered an adult we can buy 3 adults meals and get 3 kids meals free at most restaurants! This can be an incredible savings if you are dinning out more then one time over the course of a week or month.

Thank you for the list and even though we are in different States and do not have some of the restaurants on the list there was plenty that are in my area and I will be calling to see if they do this. As it would allow me to take my son out to dinner which I know Charlie would enjoy. And it would give me a break from cooking.
