So here is my menu planning for the next paycheck... I buy groceries every two weeks besides a few stock up items so i menu plan for those days accordingly.
We are VERY BUSY the next few weeks with two VBS, a 3 day hotel trip for me, Matt's swimming lesson which is Mon- Thursday for two weeks straight, this is on top of general business. So our menu plan is slightly unusual for me, also some things I am choosing for the nights we are home are easier as the kids are either in charge or assisting me. It is also unsual in the amount of "not eating at home" we are doing in the next two weeks.

OK I need to know details about Denny's and Texas Land and CAttle. E-mail me please!
Dennys.. generally is kids eat free
2 free kids meals for one adult meal (this has to be a meal not one of their two dollar specials or something like just fruit).
at some Dennys the kids meals do not include a drink so to be cheap you can just order water.
Kids Eat Free at most Denny's are Tuesdays after 4:00 and Saturdays after 4:00. some of them have it all day on Saturday but not many.
right now Denny's has lots of specials like 2 dollar pancakes or biscuit and gravy. so for the other adult eating it is still a cheap meal!
Texas Land and Cattle-
On Saturdays from 11-4 Kids eat free.
two kids per adult meal.
On Saturdays for lunch they have specials. like an awesome hamburger and fries for 6.99 I think. also on the lunch specials they have steak, salmon and a wide variety. Not every special is as cheap as 6.99 but they are still good deals.
The kids meals are included so their is no cost for drinks.
you can also get a kids sundae (icecream, chocolate syrup and cherry) for 50 cents or a two pack oreo for 50 for a treat after dinner.
Bread comes with the meal so that is a bonus!
We also eat for around 20 depending on if we purchase drinks for ourself or just have water. I tip on the entire amount instead of the actual bill so it gives the waitress a nice tip.
So there are your good deals. Neither are the cheapest you can get but they are both for good kids meals and good food, even steak!
I love getting a peek at other peoples menu's :)
