We thought eating in restaurants was a main attraction of travel because you get to try local foods. Even when eating out on the cheap, we were still spending hundreds of dollars on food. We travel a few times a year for my husband’s conferences and to visit family and friends back home. Use hotel rewards.

Here are 12 places to eat free this Halloween 2016. Trick-or-Treat happens on Monday , after school – who wants to cook dinner?

Confer with others to see what you may have missed. If you give into your desire to eat out at the fast food joint every day, you may develop a habit that leads to financial imbalance or heath issues. We have not come close to understanding psychology of individuals or the complex interplay between individuals and organizations.

The other factor was an experience Jon had at a pastors conference before we were married. This meant moving to a less expensive rental, cutting cable and changing our eating-out and entertainment habits. We did cut back on eating out quite a bit and we are people that LOVE to try new foods.

Most telephones were on a party line (and yes the parties did ease drop on each other, but they also let us do ‘conference’ calls). There wasn’t a restaurant on every corner and people didn’t eat out much. Out of season produce, if available at all, was super expensive. Most people were thin.

I say pretty much because on Friday I had lunch at the conference. It’s so much easier at home when I can control more how my food is cooked but eating out is a part of life!

My husband needs to attend conferences for his work, and if we can manage it we combine that with a family trip–this last month I went with him down to Florida, along with our youngest (the three older boys stayed home due to college class commitments and work). We went hiking at Turkey Creek in Florida.
