Chanpory, the real secret to saving money by reducing the amount spent eating out is managing time. More often than not, my excuses for eating out usually had something to do with “I won’t have time to cook when I get home, i have work to do”. Manage your time. Make time to cook. Save some dough. That or find a significant other who enjoys to cook and let them live their fantasy of being a world class chef.

Derek, I’m in the same boat as you with spending way too much eating out. It’s too easy to do in San Francisco because eating out is more convenient than going to the supermarket and buying ingredients to cook at home. I ask a lot of my friends here what they spend most of their money on, and usually they say, “Eating out!” Maybe I should start getting Safeway to deliver my groceries instead.
