[quote=Anonymous]Our food/dining expenses are way higher than they should be, and I am looking to shave off at least $300/month by changing our behavior. This will take a major attitude adjustment and I’m looking for strategies and perspectives from people who don’t consume like locusts. I’ve been tracking expenses for five years and the amount we spend on groceries, alcohol, carryout, restaurants, bars, lunches, and coffee is staggering: $2,000/month for a family of three. We’ve tried small fixes like bringing lunch to work, limiting carryout and restaurants, beers at home instead of at bars, etc. but rarely make a dent in our overall spending. I feel like we need some tough love and a lifestyle reboot to bring this in line.[/quote]
