Debt is paid off this month and credit score is good - 753! I feel a huge relief. But also really scared because my emergency fund is only $750. I definitely don't want to go back into debt so I hope to grow it over the next year. The one thing on the list I feel lost about is investing. I know that's what I should be doing with my Roth IRA but it feels overwhelming so right now most of it is in a CD. I am just starting to read up on investing.
I try to eat out as little as possible - usually once or twice a month, and only because it's either a social occasion to share with friends, or I've been too lazy to plan ahead and cook something.
I eat out only between January and April - I live in Florida and this is when the prices on the menu's actually drop between 5-7% and I travel with an organized sport. Otherwise I chose to cook and eat at home. I am lucky enough to have a family that HATES fast food... so this is the way we live :)
My boyfriend and I will typically eat out about 2 or 3 times a month. We like to go to places where the food is healthy and where we can get a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. So typically we'll go somewhere that has a big, fresh salad bar. We enjoy sampling lots of foods too, so a good buffet is always nice.
I really want this to be true for Detroit. But, as a Detroiter, and an off and on motorist, it's still fairly inconvenient to get around without a car. The city of Detroit is 142 square miles and public transit is still not up to par. Walking paths and bike paths are becoming more commonplace, but a lot of them are still relegated to the downtown area. What about the neighborhoods? What about commuters?
We have one night each weekend planned as a "family dine out night". Unfortunately, for our budget (and our waistlines), here lately our schedules have led us to have a dine out night during the week as well.

Generally I go out to a "fancier" restaurant about once a month, but out to eat during the work week to a quicker stop in restaurant (Qdoba, Subway) around 2 times a week -- (this is something I would like to cut back on!)
I usually dine out about 2 times a week. What I like most is hanging out with friends and good conversation. I almost never eat out alone. Its a good way to stay connected.
We eat out after church on sundays as a family, then my wife and I always eat at our local steakhouse on Wednesdays because they run a pretty gooddeal on a complete meal.
DC is walkable, but there are still very few grocery stores that you can walk to. You can find a liquor store anywhere, but sadly only a few places to buy actual food. We moved to DC from Europe, thinking we could still live without a car. But because of the lack of grocery stores and other shopping, we ended up renting cars a couple times a month just to shop in the suburbs. Not at all like Europe. We ended up moving out to the 'burbs. It's worth it for the quiet and green and not having lights on everywhere.
Maybe once a month or less for lunch and even less for dinner. It is expensive for a family to eat out. We leave it for special occasions and vacation.
My husband and I eat out only for special occasions: birthdays, out-of-town company, anniversary. We make sure it's a special restaurant with food we really love. We gave up eating out for convenience or laziness years ago.
I am only just now seeing the results of using the Somaluxe Shampoo (after about 1 month). I noticed that my hair isn't falling out like before,..
Twice a month
Does any of this work on ps1 disks??
I tried the toothpaste on my disc (Crash Bandicoot, warped) and it did nothing!
Any tips??
I rarely dine out. When I do I choose menus which are priced no higher than $25. Retired and I enjoy cooking my own healthier meals.
I usually eat out about twice a week, once for lunch and then also for dinner.
We don't eat at restaurants very often, maybe once or twice a month, if that, but we do get take-out and fast food more than we should.
Two or three times per week. I go out every Friday at lunch and then to Friendlies, Panera or the 99's for dinner.

What about Real Estate Agent?
usually once a week for lunch with a co-worker and maybe once every two weeks for a family dinner.

At least twice a week, it's hard to resist when there are so many restaurants down the street.
Once a paycheck (every two weeks) and not anything expensive.
I'd say on average about 2-4 times a month, almost always for dinner.
