How much do you spend in restaurants monthly?

[RiskyStuff]

Me $100 about... which gives me about 10 orders. I do it as a practitioner of frugal lifestyle which is a hidden expert-level IM method.

What cheap restaurants am I eating at spending $10 per order?

Poland McDonald's, pizza and Vietnamese.
Maybe McPoland's?

Why do I call it restaurants? It's all fast food and I prefer it to restaurants, so for me it's like restaurants for other people.

Let's not waste our time on judging other's preferences.

prepare funds for future health conditions....you will need it

there are not many restaurants left which won't use industrial made food and mcd is the worst of the worse.

Plenty of alcohol enthusiasts on this forum.
So many coffee addicts.
Also many people who use adult services... won't name them.

This is not forum of health obsessed people I think.

This method is good too. Once you save 3 hours a day on not giving a fck about other people, you can add some bricks to your empire.

We go out as a family every other Sunday, so twice a month meal normally comes to with drinks etc £180 for the 4 of us or $243 so £360 or $500 for the two Sundays.

Then date night with the wife once a month, that's normally around £300 depending on where go and the wine ordered $405 dollar

Per month

£660 / $905 give or take per month.

We don't do fast food places or takeaways that often, maybe once or twice a year that's it.


@RiskyStuff, nothing wrong with the places you mentioned, there is a reason for them and that's fine. I used to be a bit of a snob about them but then I watched the film Burnt and what he says makes sense:

But generally, they are not for me.

this kind of food decreases also productivity in the long run even if you don't think about the health conditions it will cause.There is a catgory for it called Eugenic.
Eating this kind of food is like eating a filling mass with no nutrition.So even your stomach is not hungry anymore your body is lacking nutrition and minerals and because of that diffrent kind of deseases will accure over time.


My mentor when i was 18 was an alcohol addict (wine) however it made him more productive as he worked thanks to it the whole night.He was a big guy in the adult industry in the 90's.
But still it destroyed his health in the long run and when you get older the main thing what matters is your health.You invest a lot to keep it decent.
So better being more aware about in your youth time than regetting in your older times because time passes quicker than young people think

But generally, they are not for me.

Fast Food per se is not bad.
But you can't compare McD from the 90's and todays fast food.
Todays ingridiants are artificial.Transfads which causes fad liver -> diabetes .McD meat which officaly can't be called meat etc .
Coca Cola with corn sirup etc which also creates fad liver.There are only a few countries which Cola uses its old recipe and somewhat the people there are slim and not fad.
The quality of food makes the diffrence.Eating burgers is nothing wrong.I love to eat burgers myself from time to time but i buy only in places where there is only real food and not artificialy made including chemicals like McD fries which are the worst of all.
Doesn't cost much more but your body gets real nutrition and no chemicals causing diffrent kinds of deseases and destroying each time your guts balance.

Most office workers here spend about $3-400 on lunches here per month, I used to do that too then like $200 on weekends.

Just ate some rice & eggs & cuttlefish & pork & veggies, there's a dish like this with everything lol. Tbh the size was so big for me that I put half back in the fridge for tomorrow. I order from nearby restaurants and put that in the fridge and eat for couple days then repeat. I get normal meals mostly, not McDonalds. Sometimes I get groceries with veggies, fruit, cheese, etc. I do like sweet lattes, ice cream floats, etc though.

Pretty much the opposite. Aboslutely despise fine dining. Went to a restaurant just the other day with three friends. Ran up a a bill of £220. We got two appetisers, four starters and three non-alcoholic cocktails which alone was about £120. We only shared two mains, one portion od naan and one portion or chappati between us. The portions sizes were appalingly small. Forgot to take pics of mains for future reference, but these are the portion sizes i'm dealing with. Shocking lol. Give me a Deep Pan Pizza for £7.99 from Pizza hut anyday over this.

Some portions are supposed to be "small" due to how rich the food often is. That looks ok as a starter but maybe the resturant was just crap to start with lol

I'm fussy as hell when I go out and where I like to eat.

The 4 of us out on a Sunday isn't anything fancy. Normally, starters, sunday dinner or something on the menu and dessert with drinks *4 isnt that much I dont think

Yeah not much my style, but ambience was good to be fair if that's what you're ultimately paying for.

Yes, sorry, I woke up 7 hours ago and was eating pizza while reading this thread. Plus sometimes you write in style different than I like. Only $15 for this one, but it's 2 meals.

My highest month in restaurants was maybe $800. I was eating 3 meals off restaurants a day. I had promo codes via UberEATS.

 

[TheVigilante]

Dont feel like eating out I feel I have finished my quota of enjoying eating out really haha

Time to take good care of the gifted body
