We are trying to cut back on going out to eat. We do it a lot. We like it. It is the one activity we can all do together. When jay is working me making a meal while watching kids is hard and it is easy just to order pizza or go get mcdonald's. When jay is off it is the activity we do--go out for breakfast or lunch.
Of course this is expensive.

You speak truth.
Not eating out is the one thing that I've been able to hold true to. Since I'm unemployed I have no qualms and lots of time to cook. Then there are scads of leftovers. But then last Friday we went out with good friends to a hipster place with hoity-toity prices. We had 3 drinks each and had one bite of each appetizer; $120.
May your Lansing house sell.

Ah, I too love to go out to eat, but yeah, for awhile i was doing it out of ease instead of as something fun, and that gets expensive.

I don't mind paying for an experience of food. Had a great dinner with the folks for my dad's birthday at Lagniappe for about $75 out the door, and it was a damn fine meal.
