Going Out to Eat

...is it really worth it? Seems like there is less and less quality. I'd rather stay home and fix what I know is good and prepared well for less then half the cost.

While that is true (I enjoy preparing my own meals as well), going out is a part of life and it's important to learn to navigate through the menus and keep our intake in range. Therefore, yes, it's worth it once in awhile.

That depends...my wife and I don't eat out often, but when we do, we have a few really good local establishments at our disposal. These are higher end local establishments that use fresh, high quality ingredients. I rather enjoy a dinner out with my wife when we can and it's totally worth it.

Now if you're talking about Chilli's or some crap like that then definitely not.

I live in a small rural town, going out to eat...not worth it. We eat at home.

Depends. I cook usually once a week. And I eat the same thing for 3-4 days straight. So when my BF comes down on Wed/Thur- we usually go out one or both nights- and I'm quiet happy to do so.

we eat well and we go to nice places. sometimes expensive- sometimes not.

it's totally worth it for him and myself- I get variety- we don't have to do dishes and we spend time "doing" something. And it gets me out of the house- if I'm at home- odds are i'm on the couch sewing. period. For us- it's worth it in a lot of ways.

If you don't find good places to eat or the food "isn't worth it" then you're not going to the right places. The right steak is more than worth going out and burning some calories over.

Yes once in a while. I remember when I was a kid going out to eat was a big deal! One time this girl at school shared that her family went out every night; I thought for sure they were rich!!! Really though it was a sign of the times!!!
