Most recently I received a $20 Gift Card for a dine-on-a-budget experiment at Denny’s with the family. At first I was like, no way! Then I looked at their $2, $4, $6, $8 Value Menu and thought, alright this could work. For starters, I found Cheese Quesadilla for the children on the $2 menu. It came with fresh pico de gallo and sour cream. SCORE!

I like that they offer breakfast all day long so I ordered their Blueberry Muffin Pancakes from the $6 menu which came with two blueberry & white chocolate chips buttermilk pancakes. It’s served with two eggs and two bacon strips or two sausage links. These were actually very good. The white chocolate chips added an extra sweetness to the already delicious pancakes.

I was nervous when the bill came out, but here you go! I ordered 2 entries off the $6 menu, 1 kid’s meal to share off the $2 menu, dessert off the $2 menu, PLUS a soda. Total came out to $19.75 (not including tip). However, I could have done even better and not order that soda or the dessert. Furthermore, children can eat free on Tuesdays after 4pm (beverage not included) so if my kids wanted their usual spaghetti or something else, that is a great night to take them and still meet within our $20 budget.
