Oh, in such total agreement with you on this one. I don’t even remember the last time we had dinner out. It’s just too painful. The most we’ll do is grab lunch at the food court at the mall on the weekend, where at least there’s more variety of choice, and you don’t generally wait an eternity to get your food.
On the positive side, both DH and I have shed quite a few pounds since coming here, and I know we save money by eating at home (cause restaurants here are crazy expensive on top of everything else!). But your description of your experience definitely had me nodding in agreement. Sorry you had to deal with that! I can totally relate.
Oh yea, eating out is expensive. I knew I forgot to add something but yea it’s ridiculous. Hubby and I don’t drink but when we do go out to a let’s say Australia’s answer to Olive Garden, we tend to pay about $90 just for the 3 of us. In the US, to go to Olive Garden we would just pay $50 and that’s with a generous tip.
Yeah, we don’t eat out too much either – unless you count the McCafe (aka McDonalds with a coffee shop attached), that’s pretty much the only place we can take ’em and get eat quickly. 🙁
