[quote=Anonymous]I started tracking last year and realized we were spending way too much on food and groceries. That category included liquor and going out and was regularly in the 2800 range per month which I thought was just insane. We were eating out plus I would buy too much groceries anticipating that I'd cook. What I learned was to lower my expectations for week night dinners so I didn't feel so overwhelmed and limited us to 1 night out a week. With a family of 4 dinner with 2 glasses of wine for each parents with tip its regularly 100 so it adds up. I'd rather do other stuff with the cash. We also have a boat but i need to work on DH for that. It truly is a money pit and for the cost each year, not that enjoyable.[/quote]
