[quote=Anonymous]I’ve started looking at it this way: Is eating out really *that* expensive? You have to eat anyway, right? Let’s say you cook at home, an average meal. What are you spending? Let’s say we have steak. It’s going to be around $25 for our family of three to have steak. Then I’ll make a salad and potato, maybe that’s another $10. It could be even more if we need salad dressing or A1 sauce. Plus I have to cook and clean up, and time = money. So I’ve spent $35 on dinner. Last weekend we went out for dinner. We ate, had dessert and a drink each and spent $80, but I really only spent $45. And only $25 if we didn’t get drinks. Only $15 if we didn’t have an app. I’m going out to eat for $15 more. [/quote]
