I tend to agree. Maybe I have cheap mentality but I just don't think it's very smart to spend that much on food even if you have a lot of money. I am thrifty by nature. I am also of the belief that "new money" doesn't know how to manage money as well as "old money".
Even if you are insanely rich if you manage money well you can have it last several generations instead of spending ... Lots of rich celebs are in bankruptcy because they don't know how to manage $$$ such as Toni Braxton, Mc Hammer....
Buying $100 meals is not gonna put anyone in the poorhouse, but it could be a sign of bad money managing, not knowing how to manage money wisely???Last edited by phogirl69; 08-25-2005, 04:07 AM.Comment

I'd say an average day is between $25-$30 for myself. I don't really see how I could cut that bill down either.Comment

Everyone has their vices.. As for me, I am cheap when it comes to food, but then I'll spend $170 on a pair of jeans... so i guess it's your priorities that matters... So if eating is your hobby I guess go ahead...
Just remember you end up shitting it all out anyways

let's say he makes $50k per month ( I think he even does more, but it doesnt matter, just an example ) and spends $2k per month on food - that's 1/25 of his monthly income
and then let's say you make $5k per month and spend $500 per month on food, now that's already 1/10 of your monthly earnings
I'd rather be him in that case :DI don't use ICQ anymore.Comment

actually you need to go out the the resturantOriginally posted by TexasDreamsActually you have to look at it in context. Eating out all the time seems to cost more, but then factor how much your time is worth shopping, prepping, cooking, and cleaning up. If you buy at the grocery store and spend 2 hours a day making meals, that's time lost. $50 to $75 a day grabbing the meals out can be a lot cheaper than 2+ hours of my time per day.
wait until your food is ready
tip etc
go back home
that's about the same time...Comment

Don't people usually spend 1-2 hours in a restaurant? Even when I'm in a hurry, a restaurant trip is still at least 1 hour.Originally posted by TexasDreamsActually you have to look at it in context.

Ah come on. Cooking at home rarely if ever takes 1-2 hours of work. I make the meals here and can say that on average it takes about 30 minutes average if you have to stove watch. Most baking and stuff is free time that you do not have to food babysit. Lots of meals also can be done in under 20 minutes.Originally posted by SlyDon't people usually spend 1-2 hours in a restaurant? Even when I'm in a hurry, a restaurant trip is still at least 1 hour.

Now I spend about 45 bucks every 6 days on food for two people. Sundays we always eat out for breakfast and lunch, sometimes dinner so thats like 60.00 or so for that day alone. Though it is my and my fiances one day we really can spend together.Comment

I just read my post over again 3 different times and not one of those times did I find any point where I said cooking at home takes any amount of time. I see where I mentioned eating out takes time... but nope, nothing about cooking at home.Originally posted by After Shock MediaAh come on. Cooking at home rarely if ever takes 1-2 hours of work.

I'd guess between my wife and I we consume about 20-70 a day I know thats a big spread but sometimes we eat out and sometimes I cook.Comment

Here in SoCal, I used to think eating out cost more but I added up the cost of dinner for three of us the other night (that I cooked at home) and it was about the price of a decent meal at a restaurant (especially since I use buy one get one coupons!)
Meat prices have gone through the roof. On the other hand, I drove through Carls Jr. the other day and bought a chicken sandwich meal and it was $7 bucks! What happened to five! Soon you won't get out without spending 10.
