Do You Eat Out More Than You Eat at Home?

GoBankingrates.com put out an article recently noting that the monthly cost of feeding a family of four has risen from $601.50 in 2003 to $830 in 2013. That would be a 38 percent increase over the last decade.

It doesn’t cost quite as much, however, to eat out, according to GoBanking rates.

“When comparing the cost of a 10 oz. rib-eye dinner (with soup, salad and asparagus) from Outback Steakhouse with that of the homemade version, Outback was $2.53 cheaper,” GoBankingRates expert contributor Stacey Bumpus said. “And comparing seafood alfredo (with unlimited salad and breadsticks) at Olive Garden to making it at home, Olive Garden was $3.79 cheaper.”

While it may be healthier to eat at home, it apparently is no longer cheaper.

Knowing this, will you plan to eat out more? Or had you already figured this out and no longer make the table at your own home your preferred dining experience?
