Eating out: our worst “frienemy” Saving busy professionals and parents from slaving in the kitchen after a long day at work, and bringing friends together, eating out is a cornerstone of our North American culture. Food from restaurants can cost significantly more than food cooked at home.

Scrubbing pots and pans can get old, and the more laborious cooking at home is, the less likely you are to do it. Luckily, good non-stick cookware can save you time and effort in the kitchen, leading to more cooking at home and less wasting money on eating out.

A family of two spending $40 on eating out once a week will spend $2000 a year. In my pre-tightwad days when I wasn’t cooking like I am now, our food budget shot up past $600 in one month, for two people! Fiscally, it’s smarter to cook at home. Cooking also teaches life lessons.

Families don’t/can’t take time to cook at home from scratch. With the advancing numbers of two income families, often there isn’t anyone at home to start the meal. Now we have Omar the tentmaker sizes available in every clothing store. We didn’t eat out much. Stop Eating Out!

We all know that cooking at home is better for both our physical and fiscal health. I get it, when you get home after a long day, you just want to sit down, relax, and have the food come to you. But if you’re going to have any chance of breaking the “grab and go/ delivery” habit, you’re gonna have to get excited about eating in.
