Okay so we have started to cook more and eat out a lot less. For the past week and a half we have not eaten out once. Here is what I have found -- It is so so much cheaper to eat at home. Maybe this is not a revelation to most of you but it sure is to me. I get sick to my stomach when I think of all the money I have wasted eating out.
I found chicken breasts for $.69 a lb at Fry's Grocery Store...basically we get a package of 3 huge chicken breasts for about $2.00 (and we even have one leftover for lunch the next day) -- add in some pasta roni that I found on sale for a $1.00 at Fry's Grocery and with a coupon came to $.70 and some salad I found for $.88 (and it is good, its got the romaine, the purple cabbage and carrots) and I fed my family of 3 for $3.50 ---- I know INCREDIBLE!!
But then I thought about the time -- Well by the time my toddler gets in his car seat (another sign of his independence) and I buckle him in and I get in the car and get buckled in myself and drive and wait in line at the drive thru -- I figured out it takes as much time as well as gas to go out. So consider me a reformed EATING OUTER ....
I figure anything we can get out I can cook better and healthier at home. Plus then my son knows that you are not supposed to get food out of a window. Signing off for now.
