Dining on a Dime

Dining on a budget can be filled with taste sensations and healthy choices. One of the best places to get the freshest local fare are Orange County's Farmers Markets. Held nearly every day of the week in various cities, these Farmers Markets provide fresh fruits and vegetables with local slants on tastes like humus, salsa or even artisan breads.

In addition to these choices, many area restaurants have weekly specials, coupons (check out our coupon page) and a kids eat free menu. For many, the option of just asking how large the portion is and sharing an entree is a great way to save a few dollars and calories as well.
