[quote=Anonymous]I stopped drinking alcohol, which is good timing because that stuff gets pricier and pricier, especially at restaurants. I made it my NY resolution to drink only water, both in and out of the house. My husband and I just had an anniversary dinner and split one appetizer (raw oysters) and each had a variation of surf and turf. No alcohol, no dessert: $250. I will go to a local coffeehouse once every week or two and order a tea which I’ll drink there: $4. This is worth it to me for ambience (I like to write there). I never, ever order Starbucks anymore. Casual/fast casual is really not worth it to me anymore. I can make pasta, burgers, nachos, salads etc that are SO much better than what’s around. I am watching our spending like a hawk and have unbelievably spent about $1200 on groceries and $1000 on eating out this month. It *really* doesn’t feel like it so I’ll continue to look for ways to cut costs. To answer your question: eating at extremely nice restaurants is still worth it to me. As is getting Indian and wings takeout. But that is about it. [/quote]
