Dining on a budget can be hard, so what did I do? I made a list of the best deals to make life a little easier. Countless casual dining restaurant chains like Applebee's, Olive Garden, and Chili's understand the struggle. Through an analysis targeting variety and price, my tastebuds and I agreed on a list of restaurant chains with the 10 best deals that are sure to impress you and your wallet.

To start off a list like this, one has to go back to the traditional Olive Garden unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks. The breadsticks, perfectly coated in butter and garlic sauce, and the unlimited hot soup or Italian salad, are one of the best combinations at any restaurant.

One could even argue that a full meal of salad and breadsticks is better than anything else on the menu. While this may not be the best deal on the list, it's still pretty awesome.

Go out on a Monday night to order a half-off, large deep dish pizza and get a discounted movie ticket, too. It's perfect for a college student trying to get out for a whole night and not break the bank. Everybody knows and loves PF Chang's , but fans may not be aware of their bargain happy hour deals.

Happy Hour , which runs Monday through Friday from pm, gives people a wide variety of food and drink options. The best part? No diner ever enters Buffalo Wild Wings with the expectation that they will be hungry afterwards. Buffalo Wild Wings is already fairly inexpensive and seemingly limitless options provide students with choices that are both kind to the checking account and good to the stomach.

But to make those choices even more wallet-friendly, all traditional wings are half off on Tuesdays.

I will say that again: all traditional wings are half off. Could it get much better than that? This is perfect for those who do not like Applebee's — or those who love Chili's guilty as charged. It may not be Chili's best deal, but it's good enough to make it on the list twice see 1.

Even better, get unlimited fresh baked cheddar biscuits with any entrée. Don't have a Red Lobster near you? Try making those infamous cheddar biscuits yourself. Applebee's is known for its delicious food and semi-upscale decor.

However, it's also known for being a little pricey. Try the spinach dip and macaroni and cheese with honey pepper chicken tenders or a Caesar salad and the shrimp stir-fry. Sam's Pizza Marseilles, IL Pizza. Dwight Country Club Dwight, IL Steak.
