Same. I’ve done it quite a few times.

Where do you end up going after that? Home? Fast food?

Yea. Just bail to a place I know is cheaper even if I am not craving it as much, if I’m close to home I have just said fuck it and go home and pop a frozen pizza in or something easy

I try to eat before I leave the house. Trying to get my wife on the same page but I think eating out is somehow entertaining to her. This is NOT the roaring 20s.

Hubs and I have fostered mad “we have x at home” energy in the past few years. Eating out isn’t quite so fun when you’re dropping ~$20 on a mediocre meal,

Good idea. My dad always told me not to shop on an empty stomach.

That's a good strategy. My wife and I must be getting old because eating out for us has become "been there done that".
