#3: Order off the Half Price Appetizer Menu for Dinner!
When you’re looking for the best ways to save at Applebee’s, make sure to take advantage of the half price appetizers!
Applebee’s typically offers half-price appetizers from 3 – 6pm daily and from 9pm – midnight weeknights. Be sure to call your local Applebee’s to confirm what hours they offer half price appetizers, as the hours can vary from location to location. I love skipping the pricey dinner options and ordering half-price boneless chicken wings instead. They’re SO yummy, and such a great deal!
#4: Save BIG When You Dine Early!
Go early and order from the Applebee’s Lunch Menu. You’ll save a significant amount on the smaller sized portions. Plus, Applebee’s regularly offers Lunch Specials with additional discounts!
Be sure to call your local Applebee’s for the hours the lunch menu is served.
#5: Always Look for Current Promotions Before You Go
Before you head to Applebee’s, be sure to check the Applebee’s website or Facebook page to see what promotions they’re running. You’ll save more money when you time your visit for when they have a promotion for what you already want to order… like my favorite boneless wings!
#6: Order Water, Not Drinks!
Ordering water when you eat out is so smart. Drinks have some of the highest markup at restaurants, so you’ll save a lot of money when you only order water. Enjoy the free water now, then treat yourself to your favorite drink when you get home! Following this tip is like putting money in your bank account!
#7: Take Advantage of the FREE Applebee’s Carside Pickup!
If you donāt want to go inside your local Applebee’s, you can also take advantage of Applebee’s Carside Pickup at select restaurants. Check here to see if your local Applebee’s offers this service, then follow the Applebee’s To Go website instructions for how to pickup the items youāve ordered!
#8: Never Pay a Penny When You Use Your Free Applebee’s Gift Card!
