Hello, my wife and I are really starting to cut back and save. Our biggest expense (other than our house) has always been eating out. So we've stopped. I think we've eaten out 3 times in 2 months. One of those times we were taken out, and didn't have to pay the bill. (Thanks, Uncle!)
However, what we've found is that now, with all of the cooking we're running the dishwasher almost everyday, or at least every other day, and needing to wash the big pans and such by hand. So that's using more water, more electricity, soap, etc. Any ideas on how to cut back on dishes used, or dishsoap, just that situation in general?
Also, we now use the oven more, which is upping our electricity bill. (It will help in the winter, at least...)
I know it's still cheaper than eating out, but just wondering on anyone else's experiences on making the change to eating more at home, and how to keep those costs down.
Thanks!
