  • You should try mystery shopping. We have had 3 dinners and 3 lunches out in the past 10 days all paid for. Just a survey to complete afterwards to give feedback.

    I am with MarketForce. We are out for dinner all the time. We haven't eaten at home on a Saturday night for 6 weeks (and that is just Saturdays, out other days too!!) Also get shops for some supermarkets and cafes. I have gotten money off our food shopping and 3 free lunches this week alone.

    To the person that said monthly of 385... What a load!! I can feed my family of FOUR for less than that! You must be going out to eat all the time and order the pricest things on the menu for that much! For my family of four I spend about $70-$120 at the grocery store (and that's including diapers for my 3 months old!). so I would imagine for two it would be CONSIDERABLY less.

    Its all down to what you buy and what you can afford, I spend £100 a week on average for 2 of us and we never eat out at all.

    I am guessing that being as you are quoting in dollars that you are obviously shopping in America which has considerably different prices to the uk.
