Q-Tip: Order Appetizer instead of Entree

If you want to sustain a lifestyle of dining out at restaurants more than 3 nights a week, order from the appetizer menu. Usually restaurants have innovative and rich, filling appetizers intended to be shared by the table, so chances are 1 will be enough for you. And it's a great way to sample something you've never tried before--if you don't like it, no big deal, you're only set back $10 instead of $25 with an entree.
