What is a good budget for eating out per month?

19 views

Oh man, eating out! For me, $150 a month feels like a tightrope walk – ramen noodles one night, fancy cocktails the next. $300? Thats practically a second mortgage on my stomach! It really depends on whether Im treating myself or surviving. Honestly, Id love to spend more, but realistically, Im always battling to keep it under $200 – and that often feels like a struggle. Its a constant negotiation between cravings and my bank account!

What’s a good budget for eating out? Ugh, that’s a tough one! Like, seriously tough. For me, $150 a month feels…lean. It’s a constant juggling act, you know? One night it’s ramen, the next maybe a slightly nicer salad if I’m feeling fancy (which, let’s be honest, isn’t often). Then there are those random impulse pizza nights… those always throw things off. $300? Whoa, that feels extravagant! That’s what I spent on groceries last month! It depends entirely on my mood, I guess. Am I trying to be good? Or am I celebrating something? Or just, like, really, really craving tacos?

Honestly? I wish I could swing more than $200. But realistically? It’s usually a desperate fight to stay under that. Remember that time I went out for that ridiculously overpriced burger? Yeah, that set me back a week’s worth of “eating in.” It’s a never-ending battle between my stomach and my bank account – a battle my bank account usually wins, sadly. I swear, sometimes I think my cravings have a secret credit card. Maybe I should get a budgeting app… or maybe just more ramen.
