“Cheapskates has completely changed how my family eats out. We finally enjoy restaurants again without worrying about the bill.”
Cheapskates is the first dining app that starts with your budget, not the menu. Set what you want to spend, and Cheapskates instantly finds restaurants that fit—so you can enjoy dining out without financial stress.
For many families, a simple night out has turned into a luxury. With food prices climbing and paychecks stretched thin, nearly 6 in 10 Americans are cutting back on restaurant visits (Food & Wine Magazine). But what if the solution wasn’t giving up dining out—but finding smarter ways to do it?

Cheapskates is easy to use. Simply download the app and create your profile with your location, choose your cuisine: Italian, Chinese, American, Vegetarian, and more.
