We also split our meals with the kids instead of ordering their own meal, we get two meals that include foods that they like and sometimes will order an extra side of steamed veggies. Sometimes I have even split the kiddie meal with my 3YO and we were both full. On the oh-so-exciting occasions that we go through McD's, I get two happy meals with apples and milk and I order an item off the $1 menu for me. There is always enough for me and my two girls and it is less than $8! We do this as well.

I will give this a go next time I am out with my nephews. I could save myself a small fortune ordering drinks and food this way. That is an excellent idea.

Indeed most kiddie portions/kiddie menus are so big. When we`re only the road is the only time that the kids get to eat fries or hot dogs - and the one-for-two trick makes sure that we a) save money b)the kids don`t eat too much junk food c) mom and/or dad don`t need to eat all the leftovers d) the kids learn to share.
