Some people might laugh at $1,500 monthly budget for food and cleaning supply for a family and for God sake people, it's better that way than having to queue up at the Food Bank. I know so many millions of people rely on Food Banks especially during the pandemic and certain calamities and disaster. You cannot blame those people. You can only pray that it wont happen to you.
I know some of you are wealthy, so rich and stuck up that you can afford to dine in at fancy restaurants and order $30/meal each for five members of your family, total of $150/dinner only! Can you just imagine if you spend $150 (without dessert and beverage) every dinner at your favorite gourmet restaurant every Sunday night for one month that would cost $600 + tip +tax. ($800 including desserts and beverages). Dining at gourmet restaurants is more than a privilege and luxury nowadays.
But some people have no problem with money$$$$$. They have huge problem with cooking food. Or they don't have time to prepare and cook. For two members or just a couple, going out for dinner is more of a saving by dining at restaurants. However, if you have 3 kids or extra kids maybe you wont save any.
The point of having to dine at restaurants and fast-food, no need to clean dishes, cutlery, pots & pans. No need to clean the kitchen. There's no need to use electricity or gas for cooking. No need to use hot water for cooking and cleaning dishes.
Hmmm, wonder how much we can save from having to dine in at restaurants? We really haven't try that option.
The option at my place is: My family has to stay at home and just savour the flavor of my home-cooked meals. Whether they like it or not.
