Hmm.

I feel somewhat embarassed, considering I've never really thought about it. When I was younger, we had somewhat of a budget - my parents went shopping as needed, got the staples and essentials of whatever meals were to come that week, used skads of coupons, tried to save a buck everywhere they could. At the same time, we never went hungry.. EVER. There was always food to be eaten.

When I got older, my mom got sick and homecooked meals weren't all that often. I LOVE homecooked food, but it's a rare thing around my house. I admit, we eat out a LOT at home. Probably more than anyone would want to admit. We also have a few staples at home, such as cereal and milk. We eat cereal at all times of the day.

So if we don't feel like going out, we scrounge up something, but it's probably not considered meal worthy to most of you all.

With all that said, all I know is that we spend WAY too much on food because of our eating out habits.
