Whether your goal is lofty or simple, whether using cash envelopes or you spied your new must-have wardrobe staple just outside your budget, saving a few bucks has never harmed anyone. Take those saved bucks multiplied by a couple days a week over a month and your budget just received a breath of fresh air.
For me, saving money used to be a necessary evil as we trudged along in graduate school on one very tiny income. But now I aim to save money for its satisfying adrenaline rush, a way of beating the budget system. While some may nix eating out altogether, our family finds joy in sharing a meal out together after church or on the weekend. And an easy dinner I didn’t cook provides relief when after-school activities push us outside the “cooking dinner at home” zone.
East Texas cities, especially Tyler and Longview, offer some great Kids Eat Free options to save your budget while filling your children’s bellies. Find your next budget-friendly meal and tell them East Texas Moms Blog sent you their way! If you find a change that needs to be updated, do your fellow readers a favor by leaving a comment.

Thank you for posting this! Do you know if there is an age cap for any of these places? We have teenagers, the hungry kind. Lol.
Yes, most of them have the same age caps as what their kids meals do.
As a shot through the heart, I was just told at The Catch on Sunday that the kids eat free weekends was a promotion that has now ended. 🙁
So sad! It a favorite of ours!
I would like to join the blog postings! I have three Granddaughters and I love to take them to do fun activities without breaking the bank!
