Frugal Eating

A Saturday Special at Hamilton Tavern

Food is my biggest expense.  My boyfriend previously complained about how we spend too much money on food.  We tried buying groceries and making meals at home but that was also a waste.  It is difficult to find recipes for a serving size of two and buying such small quantities of ingredients is impossible!  Granted, it doesn't help that we live in a town house with two other people so space in the fridge (and anywhere else in the house) is nonexistent.

We tried Blue Apron under the suggestion of one my co-workers.  I am not a fan.  The biggest issue I had with the service: missing ingredients.  The food was mediocre for the amount time needed to make each meal.  

Last year, while making brunch reservations for my boyfriend's birthday, I learned about Open Table.  The cool thing about this program is members accumulate points for dining out and the points can be cashed in for a dining cheque that can be used at any participating restaurant.  Check out their list of  Top 25 Most Romantic Cities.  Baltimore made the list :)
