LaTisha - I don't mind when they give me way too much food, I just bag it to go. It still doesn't compensate for the extra cost though.

Invest it Wisely - I'm finding that I prefer my own cooking or my SO's more and more. I guess we're getting better! It's a nice feeling.

Young and Thrifty - When we're going into a busy week I make ahead a large batch of brown rice or even whole meals to make things faster and easier. It helps that my SO cooks just as much as I do so we take turns or pitch in if the other is particularly tired or stressed. I've also found that going out to eat takes us more time than cooking and we have just as much trouble deciding what to eat!

Squirrelers - I definitely feel less healthy when I eat out frequently.

Good to eat at home. You know what you're ingesting, while you often don't when dining out. Over the long run, the habit of eating at home with fresh, nutritious foods can make a big difference in health over the long run.

Plus, if you're not healthy, you can't make money! Or, at least your ability to do so might be impaired.

Sometimes I'm so exhausted from work that I feel too tired to cook. I find that if I have a meal plan for the week, its much easier because I won't be so aimless.

We also spend the time to cook after work; it's a good way to wind down though it does take some time. Still I much prefer home-cooked food anytime.

I would have to agree that cooking is the way to go. It not only saves money, but it allows you to control portions better than at a restaurant. I once bought a single order of nachos that was at least 4 servings and the restaurant didn't have a lunch portion! I spent 12 dollars and couldn't even eat 1/3 of the plate. Needless to say, I won't be going back. --LaTisha
