Tightwad Training Camp Archive

Thanks for visiting the Tightwad Training Camp blog. This blog is now in archived-only status with no new posts. I've decided to leave it online & accessible due to a request for the information within the older posts.

If you are interested in both frugality and healthy eating, you might enjoy my other blog, Supper In Seconds, where I present recipes from scratch that take 10 minutes or less hands-on time to prepare.

30 Days of Tips - Hosting Dinners

Tip #27: Eating out can be extremely expensive and is a common budget buster for many families. We struggle with this in our own family, even though most of our dinners out are treats from our parents or other older family members.

If you have a relative that commonly takes you or your family out to dinner, consider hosting a dinner at home instead. They can provide most (or all) of the food and you will provide the space, ambience & clean-up. Your relative will probably spend less than half of what he or she would have spent at a restaurant and you will be able to keep the leftovers for an extra meal or two later.
