#3. Order off the Half Price Applebee’s 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. Or Order Off the Applebee’s Kids Menu to Save BIG!  (Even Adults Can)

Did you know that Applebee’s is very generous when it comes to kids meals, too?

According to two different employees I spoke with at two different Applebee’s restaurants near me, there are NO age restrictions when it comes to ordering off the kids menu.  They said anyone is allowed to order anything they want off the menu!

So, if you’re not too hungry or just want to save some cash, ask your local restaurant if you can order a delicious meal off the kids menu and save a bundle!

This is one of my favorite Applebee’s Restaurant Hacks!

#5. Save BIG When You Dine Early at Applebee’s

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.

#6. Follow Applebee’s on Facebook for Exclusive Deals (like 86% off!)

Another thing you’ll want to do is go follow Applebee’s on Facebook, so you stay up to date with exclusive promotions and deals… like the Applebee’s Date Night Pass!

They recently posted about an amazing deal where you could purchase a date night pass, giving you $30 of food per week for one year.  The value of the pass was $1500, and was being sold for $200!  Talk about a sweet deal!

#7. Always Look for Current Applebee’s Promotions Before You Go

Before you head to Applebee’s, be sure to check the Applebee’s website or Facebook page to see what Applebee’s coupons and 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!

#8. Order Water, Not Marked Up Applebee’s Drinks!

Ordering water when you eat out is so smart.  Applebee’s drinks and beverages 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!

#9. Skip The Pricey Applebee’s Desserts

Like beverages, most of the Applebee’s dessert prices are sky high.  The ingredients are relatively cheap, so you know the desserts have an absurd price markup.

Skipping the overpriced and super expensive Applebee’s dessert is pure genius.

So be extra shrewd and skip the overpriced Applebee’s dessert on your next visit. Just wait until you get home to enjoy one of your favorite desserts instead.

Don’t have any dessert at home?

Take a few minutes to stop by your local Trader Joe’s or Costco to pick up a decadent dessert for the fraction of the price.

#10. Take Advantage of the FREE Applebee’s Carside Pickup!

If you don’t 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 you’ve ordered!
