I don’t mind spending $100 eating out with friends and hubby. We do it

every few months at a nice steak house or a 5-star seafood restaurant.

Everyone has priorities. And we don’t do it only for the food, we also

do it as a social outlet. We are budget conscience, but also make a

fine living. We don’t put it on credit cards and we don’t rack up debt

to do it. I also don’t like eating fast food much, so eating out with

the family generally runs us about $40 and we do it every weekend.

I never think about how I could make it cheaper at home because that

is sooo not the point.

Just another view.
