Eating Out/Eating In
One of the issues we decided that needed to be addressed once we moved is the massive amount of money we spend eating out (in addition to buying groceries). Eating out is rarely healthy, and it's expensive -- everyone knows that. But, I didn't realize how expensive it was until I sat down and took my last credit card statement and totalled everything up. $958.89. In one freaking month! That doesn't even count the gas and the wear and tear on the car.
Our new plan is that we can go out once a week. Even if we budget on the high side at $50 per meal, that's still only $200 per month. That saves us $9,600 over the course of a year. Holy crap.
