i am sick to my stomach..i just looked at our bank statement and figured out how much we spend eating out!
WOW WHAT AN EYE OPENER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

last weekend i made a list of all the dinners my family eats, and we are going to the grocery TODAY...stop the insanity..menu planning here i come!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I realized that too a while back, so now I make up 2 weeks worth of meals at a time. It is amazing how much you will save! Then when you do go out to eat, it means more to you!!

I also realized this a while back and while we still eat out more then we really should I always think about how much we USED to spend.
