The Real #FastFoodHack 

The real deal in saving up some bucks when eating out on restaurants is to skip the drinks and to drink water instead. Restaurants usually have service water and you can always ask for an extra glass and some ice to quench your thirst. In that way, it saves your budget and your wallet is happy.
