27. Split a restaurant meal
Restaurants often serve you larger portions than you can comfortably eat during a single meal. Instead of taking home your leftovers, another option is to split an entree with a friend. This approach to dining can cut your costs in half. If you ask your waitress or waiter for an extra plate, you can divide the food yourself at your table. If the single entree isn’t quite enough to satisfy two appetites, each of you can order a small side dish, such as soup or a salad.
