This is a trick that my wife and I use to save some money (and some calories!) We order a dessert but split it. Two forks, half the calories. “Lemon Passion” was our dessert today at Macaroni Grill, in celebration of my first Father's Day 🙂
Some more tips for dining on the cheap are in one of my old articles here:
Restaurant Dinner for the Price of a Tip
Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there!
We usually just skip dessert altogether. 😉
Good point nickel … I'd say we do that about half the time … other times the temptation gets the better of us …
Or as the table cards at our local barbecue place Red, Hot, & Blue says:
"Don't Worry — All of the Calories are Empty."
