Two things never go out of style: saving money and eating, of course, and there’s no better time to dine out. During September, as the summer crowds of visitors fly home, the island eateries roll out enticing bargains. Whether you are looking to splurge on a fancy dinner for two or take the keiki out for burgers and shakes, there’s a wallet-friendly option waiting somewhere on the island. Times may be tough, but that doesn’t mean good eating has to be!
