If there's one way to grab the attention of parents it's by giving them a way to save money.
The summer holidays have always been an expensive affair and that was before the cost of living crisis that's left many families struggling to make ends meet.
So it's not surprising that the words 'kids eat free' or 'kids eat for a quid' are music to the ears of cash-strapped parents.

Yet the thing with these offers is that ultimately some of them are just not very good.
It all sounds wonderful that kids eat free, but when you find out it doesn't include a drink, it only applies to under 8s, and mum or dad have to spend at least a tenner each to qualify for the offer, it soon loses its appeal. It might well make for a decent saving, but if you're watching every penny, then for many it's simply not realistic.
However, find the right place, like we did this week, and you could be onto a winner.
OK so the Asda café might not be your location of choice for a bite to eat, but when you see what kids actually get for £1 you might just change your mind.

Depending on which café you visit, they can either get a hot meal - choosing from the likes of fish fingers, chips and peas; chicken nuggets, chips and beans; a breakfast, mac and cheese, or pancakes - or a cold pick and mix, which you can either eat in or take away, so it's ideal if you're planning a picnic.
Not all Asdas have their own café, in Trafford and Leigh, for example there's a McDonald's instead, so you do need to check your local branch first.
