Sometimes we'll just go to the diner to grab something to eat, but if we go out for dinner, we usually spend atleast $150.

Re: How much $$ do you spend going out to eat?

before we were married - ALOT, probably more than $300/month because we ate together 2-3 times per week, and the other nights, he was having takeout after work (we didn't live together)

I'd like to think we save $$ now because I cook 5 nights a week.

We used to spend a lot more but now we're probably at under $100/month because I can't eat at most restaurants.

Re: How much $$ do you spend going out to eat?

a lot!! i would say at least $300 a month probably.... we go out to dinner every friday and saturday night ( i don't cook on the weekends- LOL), plus every once in a while, we'll order in during the week,too (but thats usually somethig cheaper like pizza or chinese). AND DH goes out for lunch EVERY day with friends from work ( i've tried a million times to get him to bring it, but he won't have that! Chat Icon )
so, yeah...we need to cut down.

Re: How much $$ do you spend going out to eat?

Too much. Neither of us brings lunch to work (though we'll go through spurts where we will). If we go out to eat just to "grab a quick bite) it's never under $40...and we had a few $150+ dinners last month Chat Icon

It's absurd.

Re: How much $$ do you spend going out to eat?

We go out for a nice dinner once a month, and it usually runs us $250.00, and we get take out Sushi once a month. I cook all other nights.

I refuse to eat at places like Applebees, Chilis and Fridays, unless it's by invitation from friends. I refuse to spend 60 bucks on crappy food and drinks when I can make a better meal at home.

We need to start doing this more. We go through phases where we'll cook for a week straight. However, we then get bored and want to eat out. There are plenty of times where I've taken something out to cook and then don't end up cooking.

I wish I had a personal chef.Chat Icon

Re: How much $$ do you spend going out to eat?

Barely ever. I don't like going out to eat, I love to cook and feel disappointed that "i could have made it better" everytime we go out, so i rather just stay in and cook. I will splurge on sushi though, that I will not attempt at home.

Unless its a special occasion or we have a gift certificate, we don't go out to eat to at nice places. We do however go to Hooters or get Pizza.
I'm the bad one though. I go out for sushi at least once a week with the girls for lunch. DH doesn't like sushi.

ETA: We would love to go out more, it's simpy a matter of where we want to spend our $$ and right now its all going to the housel.

We're probably about the same. It really is ridiculous. But we can't help it.

Same here. We usually eat out at least 2-3 times per week. Neither of us feel like cooking on the weekends. Growing up, DH never ate out. My family ate out at least 5 nights/week b/c my mom hated cooking. I'm used to eating out a lot.
