Apparently, I live in the land of cheapskate restaurateurs. The only place my kid has ever eaten free of charge is the pancake breakfast at the volunteer fire department up the street. Yes, I love my town's bravest.Trying to raise money and still giving back to the community. But I digress. Back to these people who are feeding kids for free.
I'm not sending you out on the bread lines to make do in the economic downturn. You can leave the Dumpster diving to dogs in Disney films. Because Kids Meal Deals lets you search your 'hood for the deals and steals for the food they pack away. Expect it to be heavy on fast food - a flashing bar of participating restaurants on the lefthand side repeatedly shows off the golden arches. A search of my fair city (read rural nosepick town) came up with bupkus at the widest expanse of "search within 30 miles."
Other friends told me they looked and found deals that weren't really deals. Still, it's the thought that counts. And restaurateurs are apparently thinking kid-friendly these days. Considering meals on the town are usually the first thing to go during an economic downturn, I could see this tempting parents out of the house to start spending again.
Or maybe it's just wishful thinking. My Danimals and chicken nuggets bill is climbing.
