someone was saying that they spend minimum of 100.00 for 2 people though to eat out and I can't imagine spending that kind of money!

Went with my ex girlfriend for dinner at caseys and for the 2 of us, 1 drink each an appetizer each and our entree, was $110 plus tip.

Wow I was around when this thread started earlier, I go out for a few hours and its up to 15 pages already!!!!

Its a tasting menu, they're all small bites of each item. but they make it slow and it takes 3 hours.

Oh please...each course would probably be a spoonful. You'd probably have to stop at the McDonald's drivethru on the way home!

ohh is a food testing thingy happening

but for $385 per person, i'll pass.

I personally thin I rather pay more and buy a full meal one by one and feel good/full of it at the end

[sheetsofemptycanvas]

Can't hide from me, I found you all! LOL

Just popping in a for a sec, I'll be back on a little later after my coffee date Wish me luck!

someone was saying that they spend minimum of 100.00 for 2 people though to eat out and I can't imagine spending that kind of money!

I posted my husband and I can easily spend $100. My name was right there i'm "sally". I'd rather be included in the discussion then everyone talking about me.

No were not drinking crazy amounts, my husband doesn't even drink. No were not drowing in debt. Yes we are responsible, all our bills are paid. We like to enjoy some of the finer things, but theres also a lot we don't do. Yes of course there are other things we could spend the money on but we only live once. Realistically just for me and hubs and kids to eat at McDonalds it's around the $30 mark. Even trying to have a cheap dinner at crabby joes or Boston pizza runs us $70 and thats not apps or desserts.

Generally I might get one alcoholic drink, my husband will have a pop. We usually split and entree. So now were at about $20. If you get the filet mignon at even the keg thats about $30 each. So now were at $80. Maybe we will get dessert. Thats about 90-100 total easily before tax and tip. And thats just the keg. One night I went to Fosters in Stratford and had 2 drinks and my bill was $130 with my husband, and he was still hungry lol.

I guess I was just kinda shocked to come on here and I was the topic of discussion, Im not mad or anything but yall could of just asked me what mamas eating to make it that much money lol.
