DH and I went to what used to be one of our favorite little places to eat this weekend for lunch.
It is a fun little grill joint that you throw the peanut shells on the floor...
We hadn't been there in months...so we were looking forward to the treat.
By coincidence, we both ordered the same thing,down to the drinks (iced tea).(Married a long time perhaps?)
About halfway through the meal, DH said- you know, I am so used to us cooking at home, this doesn't even taste as good as what we do. And I had to agree.
Lunch was $25- and half of each went home to the dogs.
Needless to say, I stocked up on stuff to cook at home...(hense the huge grocery bill) But we are well stocked and I can truthfully say that we will be back in the groove of eating from home...not just for the money saved, but also because we enjoy it more. 
Funny thing, there was a day, that thought would have never crossed my mind!! (ME cook? NEVER!!)

Now, again, I will remind you...you have GROWN, progress, my dear. Even if you don't love to cook, if you love to save, and you realize it's BETTER than what you get out there, and you understand the expense, my GOODNESS, you have learned more than most. Give yourself major kudos. And credit-- you never REALIZE how much change you have embraced until you try those old ways. It's part of learning. When you stop wishing you can eat out because it just isn't that great, well...that meal was worth EVERY penny. Consider it an investment in future savings
