I'm almost there.
Last time I ate out was last Sunday, when I grabbed a couple of cheeseburgers on my way home for lunch. I've been doing a lot better about not eating out so much, and when I do, I try to keep it cheap. I haven't stepped foot in a sit down restaurant in weeks.
So this week, my goal was to not eat out at all. I did cheat and get a coffee earlier in the week, but I've convinced myself that it's not a meal. =)
Anyways, we're into Thursday, and I just finished my lunch of leg of lamb and seasoned rice. IN MY OFFICE. I ain't goin anywhere. Dinner is taken care of tonight, as well as tomorrow night, and I have a pre-packaged lunch box of alfredo pasta sitting in my fridge for lunch tomorrow. Saturday will require some creativity, but I've been looking at recipes and am pretty excited about trying some of them.
I wonder what I can cut down on next week.

Got a slow cooker? Makes great stew, soup, chili, and BBQ chicken while you're at work!

I have been with Savingadvice for a little over a year and my habits have definitely changed over that year. While I wasn't "really bad" about spending money on food away from home, I have gotten a lot better.
Keep it up, you will be pleased with yourself.
