If you’re hankering for some Olive Garden, but don’t want to want to spend around $20 for a classic entrée, there’s a simple menu hack you can try.
A money-saving TikTok video that was shared at the start of 2021, but is now going viral, shows users of the app that they can satisfy their appetite by ordering a kids meal.

Natasha K, 32, uploaded her video with the caption: "Save money, eat more!"
"If you are ordering to-go, get the kids meal. Look at these portion sizes, they are enormous," she said in her 15-second clip. "A side of broccoli, our main entrée, two breadsticks and a drink – all for only $5.99."

According to one video caption Natasha left, she believes the portion size for the kids’ meal is large enough to feed two adults.
The video has gotten more than 60,800 views so far, and it appears to be growing thanks to its sudden viral moment.
Two commenters argued that the containers in Natasha’s video are not the standard kids meal size. Natasha wrote back wondering if her local Olive Garden "over serves" or if other locations "under serves."

Another user shared they like to order a kids meal at Chipotle because they have a small appetite.
"[I] get a kids meal and then I [get] extra sides and make myself a mini bowl," they wrote. "And you get chips [and] soda."
