According to a recent article in The Washington Post<\/strong>, eating out is the single biggest discretionary income expense for Americans<\/a>. \u00a0It follows that tweaking one’s\u00a0dining habits can mean real savings! The writer says this:<\/p>\n

To make this easier, figure out why you\u2019re eating out. Is it because you\u2019re bored with the same food you always cook? If so, look for an appealing new recipe online and make that instead of going out or getting takeout \u2014 cooking at home is almost always cheaper than a meal out. If you usually go to restaurants to meet friends, try organizing a potluck instead. Everyone saves and still has fun, so you won\u2019t feel like you\u2019re depriving yourself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ll add that along with festive food, unique table decor<\/a> always makes meals at home feel special. \u00a0Personally, I love a good meal out, but there is just nothing like sitting down at your own beautiful table with friends or family.<\/p>\n
