Here at AVLtoday, we have the utmost respect for parents. Between school, extracurricular activities + play dates, kids are a ton of work. But it seems like half the battle is keeping them well-fed. They have to grow somehow, right?

If you’re having one of those days where you just 👏 can’t 👏 with cooking (no shame, we all have them), don’t sweat it – there are plenty of kid-friendly meal deals around town. Plus, if you play your cards right, you can feed your kid for free almost every night of the week.

We asked you to tell us where your family goes to fill up + save money. Here are your suggestions, plus a few other local picks from us.
