Dining Out For Less

Shereen Travels Cheap

That's not helpful when you're on a budget. They're small, but mighty and I especially love the Chocolate & Sea Salt and the Honey Cinnamon Peanut Butter. Eat lunch at the fancy place - Did you want to eat at a fancy restaurant? Then make your reservations for lunch instead of dinner if you can. I love a good RX Bar.
