Over the last two years, I have increasingly used Yelp to help me make dining decisions. And  generally speaking, I've benefited from being able to use it to find new restaurants. It helped me locate one of the best, cheapest Chinese restaurants in town and a nice spot for Jamaican food that I had written off under prior management. But a recent experience clued me in to one of the dirty little secrets behind Yelp's business model that many people are calling extortion. It literally and figuratively left a bad taste in my mouth and made me question whether Yelp can be trusted.

You've probably all read your fair share of articles on how to trim back the cost of dining out using coupons - showing up for the early bird special - bypassing the Boston cream pie and bringing your own bottle of wine. But when all is said and done, nothing beats a free meal. Think it is impossible, read these 5 ways to fill your stomach with free restaurant food.

I'm not sure if this really qualifies as an article but after writing the one on tipping, I just had to comment on another issue that maybe you all could help me with. It used to be that when a waiter was serving you, they did just that, serve you. The other night, the missus and I were going out for one of those cheap meals, an Italian restaurant. I'd sum it up as good food, good price, but poor service. But there is one thing that stood out that reminded me of why I think tipping has gotten so out of control. We had a nice large pizza with a bunch of good meat toppings. I probably had a few too many slices, but I love pizza. When we were done, the waiter eventually stolls over and says, "Would you like a box for that?"

Ever been out to dinner and when the check comes, the people around you spend five minutes trying to figure out the tip. It's like someone just asked them to fix a Rover on Mars by remote control from a million miles away. My wife does this and it kills me because I can't see what's so hard about it. Every time she tries to figure the right tip, it turns into a differential calculus problem. And when she's done with it, she still hands it over to me to review the results.

Although these are tough times, everyone likes to go out and have a decent meal with the family, especially if you can pay less than $30. Sure you could find that coupon in the money mailer or use a gift card, but some meals are just cheaper than others especially when they can feed your family twice. Consider these meals when you dine out and they'll even fill your family up the next day too!
