Reply #49: I'm REALLY Impressed!!

Wow -- my grocery & restaurant budget is $650 a month!!! And I serve several meatless meals a week (my 14 year old is a vegetarian)

My husband loves to go out to lunch. He hates taking his lunch because he likes to get out and socialize at noon; although not at fancy places or anything. Still with the tip and all he goes through about $50 a week.

I'll bet you don't buy any wine, beer or soda, and good for you. We buy all of them although I recently cut out the wine in an effort to be more frugal. My girls love Diet Coke, Jamba Juice and the oldest likes to stop for cappucino on the way to school, I am all too easily persuaded if we leave early enough.

You're an inspiration for me to continue to cut back.
