With the inflation, lunch has gone up $1 to $3 a meal. I am now only eating lunch out 2-3 times a week. I can afford it, but the price is making me We stopped ordering appetizers when we eat out at restaurants, or we order an appetizer and one entree. Anyone else changing their dining habits?

Eating out just isn’t good anymore like it used to be. I can’t think of the last time I said “wow, that was really good, we need to come back here and eat again”. Mexican food is about the only thing we think is consistently decent. The higher prices have made me more critical of the food. If we are going to spend $30-$40 for the two of us to eat, I want it to taste good. I’ve made more of an effort to cook at home. Good food and can usually eat for less than $10 for the both of us.

Restaurant help is in short supply and that has affected service and the quality of what you get. That said, Babe"s in Frisco was good last week.

When I'm home, we only eat out occasionally, and usually go to a nice place. My wife would eat out more often, but usually will not ask to.

No offense to Drunk Sailor's As Reagan once said, "We could say the government spends like drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken sailors, because the sailors are spending their own money." Historically my wife & I haven't dined out very often. We can eat healthier for less cost at home. COVID didn't really cause us to make any changes in that regard. I have two unwritten rules: 1. 2.

Seguin fits that bill. We don't eat out very often. I can't stand paying someone else for just an "okay" meal. Any place worth eating out at costs too much. We eat at home mostly.

Thankfully, she’s a great cook. Good Mexican food 16 miles away. Good burgers 9 miles away. Good Italian 20 miles off. Chinese is 40 miles off. A good steakhouse is 40 miles off. Not my monkeys, not my circus...

While the cost of virtually everything has gone up food seems to be the only thing that bothers me or has changed my habits. I can certainly afford it and the cost really doesn’t matter but just conceptually I don’t want to pay that much for food.
