After ranting about him so much on here I have to brag...

Yesterday my dh really wanted to go out to lunch. I told him point blank he had to reign it in... and then I went to check my email and sit on here for a little bit. I came out of the office and he had made natchos and burittos for the kids with melted cheese on top and everything. The kids were THRILLED and I was too. It wasn't much, but he didn't push eating out again at all, and he actually made lunch. I was really proud.

good for him. I was at a friend's house today, and we were talking about eating out. I said my DH supports me in our goal to stick to the grocery budget (which means eating out maybe one lunch and one dinner a month now). And if I don't feel like cooking, DH does. Didn't used to, but we both figured the thousands of dollars a year we were spending a year on eating out (adding up the cost over a year really makes you realize how much it is!) could go to better uses.

Good for you Val! It is soooo hard to resist eating out when hot, stressed, tired, busy, etc, etc...it's one of those things we struggle hard with!

Good for your dh!!!
