Default Re: How often do you eat out?

About once a week. Most nights, I usually eat by myself because my fiance and I have totally opposite schedules.

However, I don't believe that if you are single the only way to keep from wasting groceries is to eat out every night. Once I stopped eating out so often, I lost 30lbs and started saving so much money. I buy Lean Cuisines. I'll have that or a sandwich or soup. Yes, they are more expensive than a meal you prepare yourself, but the meals are proportioned to what a person should have anyways so you won't be throwing out food. If I get hungry later, I have a granola bar.

When we eat out now, it is a real treat instead of just another night. When I think of how much money we used to waste, it is really sad that we weren't investing that money in something other than our stomachs!
