Going out to lunch allows her to eat what she likes without me having to prepare it. Lunch yesterday was a children's serve of calamari and chips shared between my 3 year old granddaughter and mum. I had a salad roll. Last night I made chicken, bacon and leek pies. They worked out around a $1.70 a piece. This was a rare treat. Twice a week I cook for my children on university night. My son-in-law was so stoked to have a homemade pie.Suzannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-81122765730411186892021-06-23T17:25:28.686+10:002021-06-23T17:25:28.686+10:00Hi Wendy we order the large curry with Nan which c...Hi Wendy we order the large curry with Nan which costs a little more than the standard size and then share it with home made rice. Same for fish and chips large portion has two pieces of fish enough for two. Even when we go out for pizza we share one, we also frequent order one meal and a salad and ask for an extra plate.

It's easy to assemble, takes the same amount of time, and is much cheaper.<br />The proper take-away meal (Asian, for instance) we don't mind paying for, because we can never get the taste properly right when we make it ourselves, but, like you, we will make our own rice, not buy the drinks, nor the desserts.Siebrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-25123636784647817272021-06-23T16:22:32.675+10:002021-06-23T16:22:32.675+10:00Hi, my husband and I save by purchasing just one m...Hi, my husband and I save by purchasing just one main dish and a less expensive appetizer and then share both. That saves the cost of a full dinner entree right there. Plus, we have a bunch of coupons for free appetizers for our favorite restaurant, so we end up spending for just that one entree. The food portions are ample, and we always feel satisfied but not stuffed. We also rarely buy flavored drinks; instead we drink water.

That does both of us for dinner and there's usually a serve of leftovers that one of us will have the following day. Just ordering one main, to share between us, is plenty plus keeps price down. <br /><br />Meg Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573371198907761962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-50049770754669210862021-06-23T10:50:33.318+10:002021-06-23T10:50:33.318+10:00We tend to buy take away from local restaurants at...We tend to buy take away from local restaurants at lunch time. There are a number of places near here that provide a nutritious lunch for much less than an evening meal.Suzannoreply@blogger.com
