Taking your lunch to work and eating dinner at home are simple things you can do to save a lot of money.

Given how long the economy has been down, it’s not surprising restaruants are hurting.

Bought fresh made sushi at the grocery tonight instead of going to the restaurant next door to get it at twice the price.

Yes....a salami sandwich and Gatoraide....total cost like 3 bucks.
Wendys is great, but who can afford to go there. Dennys wait-staff is like a methodone clinic work release.
There is a little diner I go to for breakfast. Four scrambled eggs, 8 strips of bacon, homefries and english muffin. Cost: 8 bucks plus tip. Fills me up for the rest of the day.

I was thinking exactly the same thing; my wife and I had developed the bad habit of ordering a lot of dinners for delivery until, that is, the economy started going under and we lost about half of our income. Now we mostly cook at home (except for Fridays, when we all need a little treat). If enough other people are doing that as well, then it would stand to reason that a lot of restaurants are hurting.
