Eating out has never been better!
Since eating out has gotten so expensive, my family and friends figured out a way to eat out and save. Each month we decide a theme: Chinese, Italian, Mexican etc and then each person takes turn hosting a potluck at their house within that theme. It is 14 adults and 5 children, each adult gives $5 each month. The host buys the ingredients (we get the recipes free of cost from the FoodNetwork) and each person is assigned a dish to make. We watch movies, play games and one of us own a Karoake Machine (nothing is rented). When's the last time a group of 19 have gone to a restaurant and eaten Appetizers, Main Dish , Beverage & Dessert for $70, Never! Most importantly we have fun and share other money saving ideas.
