Before we had kids, Aaron and I used to eat out once per week. Now? Not so much.
Usually when we go out these days, it’s only for special occasions. My birthday, Aaron’s birthday, our anniversary. That’s pretty much it.We have to find a baby sitter (and now our usual baby sitter, aka The Jess/The Sister In Law, moved to Adelaide, so we’ll have to find a new baby sitter. Sigh.), put the kids to bed, sneak out, and then try not to worry about them whilst we are out. Every time we do go out, we always go to the same place. We know the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the service are all good. We know that when we go there, we will have a nice time and enjoy our rare night out.
We don’t want to risk paying full price at a new restaurant. What if the food is bad? Or the atmosphere or service?
Luckily you can get amazing discounts at restaurants. We can try something new for a fraction of the price we pay at our usual place. Maybe next time we’re in Brisbane, we could try out a Brazilian steakhouse. That might be interesting. Rio is, after all, one of the most beautiful places in the world. Maybe that is true for the food too?
Or maybe we could try some Spanish food. I hear they have some pretty good desserts….

We love having a night out to ourselves – cant remember the last time we did that! Sounds good trying new places at good prices 🙂
