Eating out is many times more expensive than cooking at home, and more importantly eating out is unhealthy. Restaurants use too much sugar and too much salt. Neither of these food additives are healthy in large quanities. Restaurants use MSG which is an additive used to enhanse Flavour. Some people are alergic to MSG.
If you are concerned with being Healthy, it only makes sense to buy your food fresh and cook it at Home!

I wouldn't think so. I'm a single person with no family in my household besides my cat. I can spend about $60 bucks at the grocery store and eat for at least a month, all depending what I buy.
Now say I ate out. Say I ate someplace cheap...and say it's just Taco bell, fast food place, for dinner. Say I spend $5 a night. So that's $5 for 30 days. That's $150 dollars to eat dinner every night for one month, when I can eat breakfast, lunch AND dinner for $60 bucks.
If that's just for one person how can 2 or 4 or more people be cheaper to eat out?
it's definitely not cheaper in America to eat out constantly. But most people just do it for convenience.

maybe in your country can be less expensive eat out than cooking at home,but where i live when you want to eat out,maybe in a restaurant,you spend at least 50 dollars...so i think is better if i come back home for eating,an go to restaurant only 1 time a week...bye paulinez
