(Tyler, Texas) East Texas parents these days are looking for ways to save money, especially when it comes to eating out.

While it is a bit less expensive to purchase food from a grocery store and prepare a home-cooked meal, the cost of groceries is almost too high to make that happen. Then factor in school, sports practices, and meetings, having a home-cooked meal is out of reach for many of today's busy families in terms of cost and time.

A typical family of four with pre-teens can easily spend forty dollars at a fast food restaurant. It adds up quickly. There's not much these families can do to save money when it comes to eating out.

Families with younger kids, though, can save money when it comes to eating out thanks to special offers from area restaurants with 'Kids Eat Free' promotions.

My wife and I took advantage of these special offers when my daughter was much younger, and we saved some money along the way.

I write about this because I saw this question posted online in a closed social media group the other day:

Shortly after the question was posted, responses started rolling in from others who are taking advantage of and saving money thanks to these restaurant promotions.

Keep in mind, these are all user-generated responses. The restaurants I could verify are included in the following gallery, along with links to days and times their kids eat free promotion happens.

Users also offered up these locations where kids eat free, too. However, I was unable to verify them, so before heading out in hopes of saving money, you'll want to call and speak to someone at the restaurant.

Parents will tell you that raising kids is expensive, and it doesn't get any cheaper the older they get. So we'll do whatever we can to save some money along the way because we know more dues, summer camp expenses, practice gear, instruments, and school supplies are needed soon.

If you know of any other restaurants that I have not listed, please email me the details, and I'll add them to this list.
