We have lived without buying fast food for about six weeks. A dear friend treated the children and me to Burger King about a week ago, which was very nice. And a few nights ago we ate dinner made by more precious friends. But other the that, I have been cooking 3 meals a day, 7 days a week.
And you know what ? It hasn't been so terrible. We don't eat out a lot anyway. However, usually my husband treats us to a meal a few Sundays a month to give me a break from cooking. And I am sure that we will get back to that family tradition once we are all reunited in CA. ***I miss my Honey! Anyhoo...*** So, it has been necessary to be as frugal as possible until such time. Menu planning helps tremendously with that goal.
