in eating in a restaurant..do you always check the price before ordering it?

yes,I'll check the price while choosing what to order on the menu.For me,I try to minimum my outcome,because I always want to save more money.But if I have meals with my friends,I won't act like this.Even if it's expensive,I probably choose it,especially while I'm hanging out with girls...there not so many chances to be with friends,so just enjoy everything!

Hi there, well yes i check the price before ordering foods, actually not only with foods but everything i want to buy. I always check the price, i am not the type of person that willing to buy without looking for price, my hubby used to be this way he doesnt look for the price most of the time and thats our difference, anyway its always nice to be in budget, keep on mylotting

I usually check the prices, whether I'm buying dinner or someone else....there's always the rare occasion where someone says "get what you want, pretend the prices aren't there" and I do but then feel guilty after that....I took my three kids to my favorite restaurant one night for dinner, told them to order what ever they wanted and you know what? they did! for the four of us the bill was over $200.00 and that's the last time I told them that! Now if I take them I tell them to take it easy on me or make them pick up the tip (well, the older two anyways who are 21 and 19 and have jobs) but I do have to agree with you, price shouldn't matter on special occasions, and if it's the only time you get to spend together, you do need to enjoy it!

Yup, i will be doing that sometimes.. hehe ^_^ Because i might be able to get some of the food listed there, somewhere else for better quality with lower price.. hehe ^_^ Besides when i'm at some restaurants or wherever, i'm just there for the ambience, not because of the food.. haha =D Thus, i dun see much reasons as to why i should be paying so much? hehe ^_^ BUt once in a while splurge or expensive food is fine for me, as well as any happy occasions.. haha =D

Depends on whether I plan to eat out or spur of the moment eat in the restaurant. If it's a new one and I happen to pass by and check it out if the foods okay and the prices, I always check the menu and the prices and compare it with the other old restaurants. I don't check the prices if the restaurants I go to are the ones I go to regularly and I don't check if someone else is paying which is mostly what happens LOL. But if it's planned, the eat out in the restaurant, I have more knowledge of the prices and always notice the increase in prices too. And when it's eating out with friends and you chip in with the bill, we always check the prices.

Yes, I always check the price before ordering it. I am a person who is very calculative and I do calcuation before buying anything, not only food. I don't mind paying for something which I like very much. I look at the price doesn't mean that I don't go for expensive dishes. I don't buy a very expensive dish if I don't really like it.

I'm on a very very tight budget so yes....have to check the prices. We don't eat out often at all so I don't have any of the prices anywhere memorized. I also have to make sure that I have enough for a tip and all.

When my husband and I go out to eat at a restaurant we usualy do not look at the prices as much as we look at the menu itself. We get what we want to eat and pay for it. Many times we will get a little extras with our meal, my husband likes the steak and shrimp dinners and many times he orders extra shrimp. I always like a salad before my meal and if it does not come with the meal, I will order one as an extra side.I also like sauteed mushrooms on my steak and many times it is an extra cost. Like I have always said, "If you want it, it is worth buying." Eat and Enjoy!

Hi acie~ I also check the price before ordering the dish in canteen, maybe not just budget but a compare the price of the same dish between the different canteen. If the price is almost the same, then next time we will go to the cateen with better quality food,right? Also, I think china have so many kinds of dish and every has its specific cuisine,so every time you have a lot of choice,so look through mune and choose a new one maybe have a surprise to you~Also the price is there on the mune, it's easy go to your eyes~Do you like hot pot?I enjoy it very much~

Hello! Most times When I go out to eat it is rare so I treat myself . If it is a fly by day idea and like lets grab some lucng on the way home then I will look and see . I have noticed that I do do the deals that they have like at Applebee's 2 can dine for 20 and they have an array of choices and you save a few . But if I am craving I will order something else that might be a tad bit more of less. Because sometimes i dont feel like something before dinner.

Yes i do check the price of the Item Before Ordering it When i Go to a New place or New Restaurant . But if i go to a known restaurant there is no need to See the Cost.

From the settings of the restaurant, we might get some idea about the price level. Unless for grand occasions like birthday or festaval dinners, we do not go to very expensive restaurants. Even with familiar ones, I would check the price when ordering.

If I am paying and I need to save money, I will do that. I will even do a quick calculation in my mind for the total (I am so cheap ) I don't want what I order exceed my wallet. It will be a nightmare! I can't imagine the shame and I might need to do the dishes to make it up for the cost. If it's for celebration and money is not an issue, I'll just order what I want. Don't spoil the fun with the price.

When i go to restaurant I usually eat the same item at same quantity. I always eat 2 parotta. Its price is 5 Rs. So no problem for me. If I like to eat some other recipes then I ask for the price.

Eating out does not fit into my budget at all. However, if I am the guest of someone then I will certainly check the price to make sure I am not ordering the most expensive. In any case, the most expensive is usually something I'd rather not eat, like beef. I usually prefer chicken.

In an Ideal world,you could eat out without having to worry about how much it was going to cost,but some places will charge you for everything they can,adding on supplements,and service charges..Here,Legally,a Restaurant should have its menu on display outside so that you can see what to expect before going inside.. At the same time,there are People who don't read the menu fully or forget to bring their glasses to be able to read it! It can then be awkward when it's time to pay,and they need to ask what the extra charges are that they overlooked when ordering..

I definitely check the prices first.. because I don't want to order food, then be shocked when the bill comes. lol. Though we seldom go to expensive restaurants, I'd rather eat at fastfoods where I really really enjoy the food plus it's inexpensive.. when we go to restaurants, we usually choose those that have buffets. hehehe.

in fact, i seldom go to eat in the restaurant. but sometimes others bought me in the restaurant, then they would order it. cause i didnt like to order, always giving the menu to them,

We have a tight budget so we always watch the prices. Some times things are really just too out there to buy at a restaurant

All the time! It really pays to check how much you've got in your pocket and check it against how much you're about to spend. Ha ha, as I've said in one of your posts, I'm the eater kind of person so it matters a lot to me being able to eat a lot for the little money that I have. I don't go for those fine dining stuff, to me, food is food. =) I'm all for tummy fillers regardless of the flavor and all. Of course it won't hurt to go fine dining once in a while but it doesn't seem to be much worth spending all your savings on specially now that the world is pitched in crisis.
