It's not news that eating out is expensive. Around here we really like to eat out. Well, it's more of a situation where Mom really likes the night off from cooking every now and again. But for seven people, fastfood tends to be more economical if we do venture out for food. But I really like a few restaurants with more "sophisticated" meals. So instead, we try to have a few meals here and there that are favorites that we go out for on date night but share with the whole family.
We have a favorite pasta place and about 5 years ago I decided to try and duplicate their cheese alfredo sauce. It's now a family favorite and we have added the salad and homemade breadsticks also. We have this once a month. Every month, but only once. It keeps this meal special.
So instead of spending $60 plus on all of us at a restaurant, I only spent approximately $10. Not too shabby!
