Save Money by Eating at Home
Do you cook rather than eat out? A homemade spaghetti dinner with salad for a family of four can be prepared in 15 minutes for an approximate cost of $9.19, or $2.30/person. If a family of four eats the same in a restaurant, the meal easily can cost $10.95 a person, or $43.80, not including beverages, tax and tip. Also, home-cooked meals have fewer calories and are more nutritious as a rule.
