Happy Wednesday Hivers! ## Eating out is truly enjoyable. Aside from getting to savor delicious food, you can dine at your favorite restaurant without the hassle of cooking or washing dishes, you simply eat, relax, and leave when you're done. Back then, whenever there was a family occasion, we didn’t bother cooking, we would usually just dine out, especially since our parents are getting older. ## ![IMG_3688.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/kellyane/Eos2JRxtcJqE1kaWHVnk11148X2SfZ9xS55rwmrYsR9RFFhnsy3V8VzNLu9RxWhHPeB.jpeg) ## But in today’s time, when almost everything is becoming more expensive, it’s wiser to be more mindful of spending. One effective way to save money is by cooking at home and cutting back on eating out. Meals prepared at home are simply more affordable. Just imagine, a single dish at a restaurant usually costs around ₱250 to ₱350 per serving, and that portion is often only enough for about two people. If you spend that same ₱350 at home, you can already prepare a meal that can feed up to four people. On top of that, when dining out, we usually order multiple dishes, often three or more. That easily adds up to the cost of three full meals, making it quite expensive. So if you eat out frequently, it can really take a toll on your budget. ## ![IMG_3689.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/kellyane/EoeGQ7kzeAn7S6utDStkPFYcTe9Tm2GTfM49RnxuEXgTmFFQRQVWXd48Aoy6UHXMzz5.jpeg) ## Two weeks ago, I dined out with my sister. Since we rarely see each other, we decided to have a little date, and she treated me. We ordered three dishes, one platter of rice, and a cucumber juice. The first dish they served cost around ₱300, but the portion was very small. Take note, this restaurant follows a “farm-to-table” concept, meaning they don’t buy spices and vegetables from the market for some of their dishes. Despite that, the serving was still quite small and expensive. If you keep eating out all the time, it will really become difficult, especially now. It’s much better to start growing your own food and cooking at home so you can save more. At the end of the day, it’s not bad to eat out once in a while, especially for special moments. But making home, cooked meals a habit is a smarter choice. You save money, you eat better, and you have more control over what you prepare for yourself and your family. ##
