   I think that’s about normal for me, too.

   Oh yeah – BTDT. Nowadays I generally avoid that by making a strict shopping list – if I remember to bring it with me…

   Can spend that just on household supplies easily.

   To be honest, with only two people in my household I’ve found it is actually cheaper to eat out and get value items vs making something at home.

   If I had a larger household I’d imagine that would change, but 2-4 dollars per meal eating out is far cheaper that 5 + for homemade stuff.

   question is healthy or not though.

    The nice thing with meals prepared at home is there are usually leftovers that can be consumed later, as a second meal. So if a meal costs $8.00 to prepare, and it yields 4 servings, equals $2.00 per meal. Going off the value menu a person gets a good deal on empty calories.
    

    
    I generally spend my nights off cooking dinner for the family, my wife and two daughters. Left to their own they would rather take the convenience of fast food over the benefits of a balanced meal at home.

    Heck, I can remember when $85.00 would have bought 3 or 4 months or more groceries at my place! Of course, minimum wage was $1.00 back then.
