As we head back to school, many families lives will get a tad bit busier. With dance lessons and soccer matches squeezed into the time that kids aren’t in school, there’s little time left to eat dinner, let alone make it.

Some days, it’s just easier to eat on the road. But as I’ve learned, eating out with kids is SO expensive.

Thankfully, many restaurants cater to hungry families and offer discounted items, and even free meals. Woohoo!

One such restaurant group is TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants, which operates 66 Applebee’s restaurants and five MOD Pizza locations throughout Michigan. {Check out my review of MOD if you’ve never been. It’s delicious!}

Applebee’s will offer kid’s meals for just 99 cents every Tuesday in September and October {meaning a family of four can eat a meal for as low as $30…score}!

Here are some other places you can easily grab an {inexpensive} bite. I stuck to restaurants with more than one location to best serve my readers. Feel free to add more in the comments!
