Ok so I almost never make resolutions. I believe in life long change. This year though I would like to try an experiment with my family. No eating out or fast food. There will be a few exceptions.
-When we have a gift card
-When we are with family and we first can't convince them to eat at home or they are paying
-When we are traveling and won't be getting to our destination before we are starving
There are a few reasons that I want to do this. The biggest is money. The next is health. The third is sort of a combination of both again, but we are planning trip and the extra cash and thinner waist line would be great.
I will have to truly crunch the numbers, but it seems like we go out to eat at least twice a week. That's at least thirty dollars a week if we eat fast food. If we go somewhere else... We usually have at least a partial meal here at the house. For ten dollars we could probably buy the missing ingredients for way less then that. It should be interesting. It'll take some will power too. I always like to stretch those muscles. Eating out is a bit of an addiction for me. I'm hoping that by putting it on here, and blogging my progress I'll stick with it.
