We live in a resort town and the price of a breakfast, lunch or dinner is outrageous. Yes, we have a McDonald's, however, we don't do fast food. We rarely go out to eat (maybe 2-3 times a month) as both my wife and I are excellent cooks and enjoy fixing our own food. It's better, less expensive, and we make enough for left-overs. We will still do the same when we move back to Michigan, the land of nice people and reasonable prices. Sara - All good tips, but what else can you expect from a Michigander?

I do love to eat out, but I always regret it when I see the check!

My husband and I have grandma's old pressure cooker, so once a week we make a 'pot' of something. We sometimes freeze some so we can have it later in the month. Chili is a big staple in our house there are so many things you can do with one pot of chili like...chili eggs, breakfast burritos,taco salad,chili dogs and my favorite grilled cheese and a bowl of chili. It freezes great in a ziploc baggie(if you get all of the air out). Cooking at home has become one of our favorite things, our 2 yr old washes the veggies ,our 4 year old cuts the veggies(with a butter knife). Even if you don't have children I remember back in my 20's we would have cooking party's and 3 or 4 of us would cook a dish and split them up. Different dinners for the week. Lots of fun!! Be careful on trying to cook Chinese at home depends on what you want , egg rolls are expensive to make , sometimes it is cheaper just to buy a lunch special. Ahh,food my favorite subject!
