Feeding 7 on 20

Tonight we fed our three kids, us and my niece and nephew dinner, with a water view and had dessert for just 20.00! Cool huh? Best part was that the kids were totally wiped out when we got home and went straight to bed, there was no waiting for a table while the immigrants from the Northeast sat over their .25 happy hour coffee and we didn't have to keep the kids quiet while every couple happy with their 1.9 children looked at us in disbelief for bringing another child into this world... here's how

Monday and Tuesday nights Sals offers 6.99 large cheese pizza (pick up and cash only) so 2 pizzas cost us 14.00. Grabbed those along with a cooler stocked with a thermos of water and Gatorade and some cokes, paper plates and off to the beach we went. We arrived at 5:15, kids played in the water with boogie boards, dug castles, and ran around like maniacs then crashed in the sand with their pizza in hand. Back into the water to wash off, no dishes to clean up or hands to wipe down :)
After running on the beach like little mad men, we headed to the golden arches where you can get a hot fudge sundae for .99 so 6 of them were 6.00! (I didn't get one since I knew Scout would be done with hers once the hot fudge was done). So yes we fed, entertained and treated our kids to ice cream along with our niece and nephew for 20.00! Top that in today's economic crisis!!!
