through April.
And we only ate out 4 total times. That's amazing.
We each got one lunch out and one dinner out together.
So the goal was three times.
But we ended up making an evening trip to Manhattan, dinner on the road was necessary.
So 4. That is so good.
In the 3 months prior, we spent on average $250 at restaurants.
In April, we spent $65 eating out.
In case you aren't good at (what I call) mental math (I'm not either) that is a savings of $185.
We also even spent less at the grocery store. Who would have thought.
I think being intent on saving in one area helped me strive to save money in other areas as well.
HOORAY!
Thanks for the meal tips and the encouragement throughout the month. I think we will try it again!
