My family of 4 ordered Denny's $30 'family pack.' It was an even better value than I expected.

I wanted to save time by ordering breakfast from Denny's, and I was impressed. Terri Peters

I'm a busy mom of two trying family meal deals at chain restaurants to save time and money.
I tried Denny's Grand Slam Pack. It includes pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash browns.

Breakfast for dinner is a favorite in my house, but we don't do it often because it's a pain to pull out our electric griddle and prepare a bunch of different foods.

When I heard the breakfast chain Denny's was offering a "family pack" meal deal filled with breakfast-for-dinner essentials like pancakes and scrambled eggs, I was eager to try it.

Priced at just $30, Denny's Grand Slam Pack comes with everything a family needs for an elaborate pancake breakfast … or, in my case, dinner.

As a busy mom of two teenagers, I had a feeling it'd make a great weeknight meal for us.

Ordering the meal was easy to do online, but I couldn't schedule my delivery or pickup in advance.

Ordering the Gland Slam Pack was easy. Terri Peters

Denny's was offering free delivery, so I took advantage of not having to drive to pick up our meal.

Denny's kept me updated about the status of my order via text, too. Terri Peters

Our order arrived on time, but had gotten a bit cold in transit.

If I'd picked up the food myself it may have stayed warmer for longer. Terri Peters

Still, everything was easy to reheat, and there was a ton of food.

Our Denny's spread looked pretty impressive. Terri Peters

Our order included eight giant pancakes.

The pancakes came with syrup and butter. Terri Peters

We paid extra to have our eggs scrambled with cheese.

I thought the hash browns were underdone, but I was able to save them.

I fried the hash browns the next morning in some butter and they were great. Terri Peters

The meal included plenty of bacon and sausage.

Next time, I'll add more bacon to my Denny's order. Terri Peters

The $30 "family pack" fed us all dinner — and breakfast the next day.

I'd much prefer to order a meal like this as a midweek treat than make a full-on breakfast.Terri Peters

I'd definitely order this meal deal again, especially if I had house guests over for breakfast.

I'd happily serve the Denny's meal deal to my family and friends. Terri Peters
