Going out to eat used to be cheap, that's the thing nobody wants to mention. Boomers went out to eat all the time while paying mortgage and buying toys and going on vacation.

For dinner tonight, @buttonslives and I are having pork chops, rice, and asparagus. We make this probably 2-3 times a week. It's delicious, and extremely affordable. Food and Cost: - 1.37lbs of pork chops @ $2.99/lb = $4.10 - 1* serving of yellow Minute Rice = $1.10 - 1/3 bag of Costco asparagus = $2.16 TOTAL COST FOR 2 PEOPLE: $7.36 *Christina didn't want rice tonight This took less than 30 minutes to cook. Asparagus goes in the oven. Pork is seared on a cast iron pan, and finished in the oven. Rice is cooked in the microwave. We eat a lot of pork because we like it and beef is really expensive right now. Some nights we have steamed broccoli instead of asparagus. Some nights we have mashed potatoes instead of rice. I cooked Indian last night. We cook a lot of stir fries too. Unless we're treating ourselves to a ribeye, our dinners don't cost more than $5 per person. People who say food is too expensive are just too lazy to shop smart and cook at home.
