We’re eating leftovers for lunch and I have to comment that they taste better to me than Friday. I picked up eggplant parmigiana and my husband veal contadina which is veal stuffed with Italian sausage, fresh mozzarella, spinach, topped with mushroom-marinara sauce over fettucini.
Pasta is great leftover food!
We enjoy eating out and having some leftovers the next day or so. With a vacation coming up, we’re cutting back a bit so we can try out some new things next month.
Saving a Bit While Eating Out
Here are some things that we do to save a little bit of cash. We’ve been doing some of these since we dated in college.
- Go to local spots for weeknight deals. Check with your friends to get an idea of where deals are. We’re fortunate to have several friends familiar with the area who usually have suggestions on where to eat.
- Make sure you take leftovers home. Many times, restaurant portions are huge. Do yourself a favor and save some for another meal.
- Get a discount. Check online to see if your restaurant has some deals. The bistro we went Friday had an online deal that was better than the one the advertised on the meal. You may also want to check out Restaurant.com for cheap gift certificates.
What tips do you have for making leftovers interesting?
