Dave and I already have a tight budget when it comes to eating out, and we've noticed a considerable difference in our finances and our health because of it. Before Dave decided to go back to school, we were spending way too much money grabbing a quick bite to eat because we were too tired and too busy to devote the energy to making a healthier, less expensive meal at home.
These days, we have fun finding new recipes to try, and I have fun knowing that we're saving a lot of dough by eating in.
Still, it's always good to challenge yourself, so we're going to try our best to go the entire month of January without eating out. This will be tough for us, especially when it comes to feeling the pain when our coworkers go out during the lunch hour or after work and we really want to join in the fun. I think we can come up with some creative ways to hang out with our friends this month without splurging on food and drinks.
Tomorrow night is our traditional New Year's Eve dinner at Texas Roadhouse, and then it's "see ya later" to restaurants until February 1.
