We decided that we'd only go out to eat once a week and I didn't want it to be Taco Bell every time.
Fair.
I've made the same determination myself, except usually, it's twice a week.
Weird that I can afford to go out more often, but I don't. Okay, part of it's a health thing. Another part is that it's gotten freakin' expensive. Anything but a soup and salad at Boomerang's will shred a $20.00 bill. I had a hamburger as an entree yesterday, and it was near $17.00. Plus I almost automatically tip $5.00, so $22.00 for a cheeseburger.
Although I have heard that the so-called fast food places are nearly as expensive. I do go to Wendy's, but I haven't been paying attention to the cost well enough to remember what I've paid.
