    Default How much do you spend per month eating/drinking out?

    Having just made a hefty consumer electronics purchase--a 52" DLP TV, fellow geeks--I've considering tightening up on my entertaining.

    Recently I was pretty shocked to see how much I spend per month eating out--and these aren't even fancy joints!

    So, how much do you typically spend?

    To get things started, your choices are:

    0-$50
    $50-$150
    $150-$250
    $250-$350
    $350-$450
    $450-$550

    or

    More than $550/month.

    It's hard to find a decent fast food meal under $5 any more unless you like small portions. A trip to an Applebee's/Chili's caliber place will usually run about $10-15 with tip.


    I don't eat out a lot (maybe once a week) but I'll bet that I cross that $50/mo barrier more often than I think.

    I spend less than $40/month. Gotta get the boobies ya know. I use Microsoft money to financially balance me. Helps me see if Im spending too much on a certain catagory.

    My bf and I easily spend $350-450 a month (both of us combined) on going out and eatting. And we mostly go to places like Quiznos, Subway, Starbucks, Panera, etc. Not even expensive places, it just adds up like crazy. Every time we say we'll stop, it only lasts like a week.

    Are we counting nightly coffees from Starbucks? We probably eat out about once or twice a month, whether it's ordering a pizza or going to an actual restaurant.. So I'd say that, coupled with the coffees... In the $50-$150 range.

    HMMMMM... I'm not really sure.

    Does it count as eating out if the food was prepared at a grocery store? How about if I'm traveling for work?

    I do buy coffee drinks 3-4 times a week at Starbucks (or similar coffee shops).

    I know that I don't spend hardly any time cooking. Usually just one meal a day at home, but I do pack stuff around with me like fruit and canned tuna.

    Geez...what a question...I really have no clue, but I know it's quite a bit. It'll go down once we get settled in the new house, though.

    My boyfriend and i don't really go out to often. We both go to culinary school, don't really care for chain restaurants and right now, till i get back in shape and start dancing again, we can't afford to eat at any place nice.

    So, no money right now, my boyfriend probably spends $100 a month at Starbucks, ick!

    Hmmmm...we spent $146.89. But, that was mine and Scorpio's Valentine's Date (celebrated on the 10th, mind you...heh).

    Other than that...we don't really eat out.

    we probably spend about 50 dollars/week, so maybe $200.00/month.

    Well, seems I am at the high end of the range. Sigh. Took my X wife out twice this month; the damage each time was north of $100! (And, no, there wasn't any "remember the good ol' days" sex at the end of the night either.)

    Maybe $300 or $400? I guess it depends if I go out and drink some that month or buy my bf dinner a few times or what. I eat lunch out usually every day and often dinner. I don't like to cook and live alone. When I buy food for myself to cook at home it often costs the same or more than going out and it's easier to go grab something.

    Wow...being in NYC....easily for us $500 and up per month. Sometimes we drop $250+ on one meal. But we only do that maybe once every few months. But per month on average $500+. There's just so much good food here and alot of times it doesn't come cheap.
