Going to restaurants is an absolute costly rip off. Even the fast food slop joints have increased their prices.
About 2 years ago, we just stopped going to them.
Plus, restaurants hire illegals by the millions...They wont be getting any of our money.
I refuse!
That's true. I don't like eating out so I can count on one hand how many restaurants I've been to this year. That said, we just got home from taking a friend to eat out who had done a good deed for us. We were the only ones in the place. When we were leaving, a family and a man came in so that's not going to keep them in business.
If it's not at our podunk grocery store, I don't buy it. The only thing we've bought in months was material to do some diy home repairs so that isn't enough to keep anyone in business. The garden keeps us in some veggies and I put up two batches of pickles last night. Various birthdays are coming up and it's going to be slim pickings because we can't afford it. Last Christmas, it was homemade gifts and they can expect more of the same this year.
You must not dislike cooking as much as I do. ;-)
