Wednesday kids meals savings at McDonald's and Sonic

The middle of the week comes, and you're in a hurry to make it to the next event on time.  You have a van load of kids, and you dread the thought of what food is going to cost.  Don't worry.  In the St. Louis area, Wednesday night brings cost-effective savings for the family, with kids meals at Sonic and McDonald's.

On Wednesday, McDonald's offers Happy Meals for $1.99.  You can choose from hamburger, cheeseburger or chicken nuggets.  Included is your choice of fries or apple dippers, a drink and a toy.  So, even if the thought of nuggets and fries does not appeal to your health-conscious crew, you can soften the blow with your choice of apple dippers and a milk.  In addition to this, many area restaurants also have family night events with coloring, Ronald McDonald, balloons, ice cream, or whatever the individual restaurant chooses for entertainment.  This deal is offered year-round.

During the month of February, Wednesdays also bring $1.49 kids meals to Sonic Drive-Thru Restaurants.  You can choose from hamburger, cheeseburger, chicken strips or grilled cheese on Texas Toast.  The meals come with your choice of fries, tots or apple slices and a drink.  As most Sonic lovers know, Sonic is a drink station.  So, you can be as creative as you like with your drink choice or go for a solid healthy choice in milk.  The meal also comes with a Sonic toy.  If you want to enjoy this Wednesday deal, it is available for lunch or dinner - But only through February 29, 2012.
