In October, Boston Market introduced to customers a promotion where 2 kids eat for free, however, Boston Market isn't the only one offering free meals for kids.
Kidseatfor.com gives you a list of restaurants in your area where kids eat for free. This nifty guide also has a mobile version too.
Money is tight but there is nothing wrong with free food for the children. Of course, there might always be a catch. Purchasing an adult portion meal is a small price to pay for getting your childrens' meals for free.
What do you think of a free meal programs for kids? Do you think more restaurants will get into these programs?

That's pretty cool. I will need to remember that website when my son is older.
For the most part I have found them to be a bad deal, on the lines of a bait and switch deal so to speak. To begin with the age that they consider a "kid" is dropping rapidly many restaurants are dropping that to 5 and under. Another thing is that they usually only allow one free childs meal for each adult meal purchased and the menu is usually limited to a kids menu which includes such wonders as chicken nuggets, macaroni cheese or spaghetti. My niece being 6 now is too old for the free meal anyway, but when she qualified she still didn't eat from it her taste in food being more along the same lines as mine. I find it cheatper, healthier, and more satisfying for both of us to just order an adult meal ask for two plates and share.
@echois23@xanga - I have run into those same dilemmas with the kids eat free hype
On Tuesdays the IHOP by my house has buy one meal get one free deal :)
I know a lot of places around here that have those sort of promotions... I think it's great. It'd be greater if I had kids. haha.
Even with the promotions, it's still cheaper to eat at home.
These promotions just make America even more obese than it needs to be, as the companies are hurting the youth of the nation just to gain more customers.
