Dinner gets too pricey, but you're ok with going out for drinks? What's up with all these Mustachians going out for drinks so much? Lol. That's why I missed the last meetup, as it was somewhere with just drinks and I couldn't get a meal or any food. I don't drink much, but when I do, it's at home. Drinks are far too expensive out in an establishment. I say go somewhere that people can do whatever they want. Just have drinks, just have a small appetizer snack, a full meal, whatever. We're all free to make our own financial decisions, but give people the options to make those decisions. The last choice didn't give me that option, unless I wanted to go and just sit there and drink water or something. Anyway, there are plenty of places to get a reasonably priced meal, depending on your threshold. Generally speaking I want lunch to be less than $10, and dinner to be less than $20, but $5/$15 is even better. But there are plenty of places I do for lunch that are the same prices for dinner. It's pretty easy to find dinner for less than $10, especially if the number of people interested doesn't get too high... Two of my favorite lunch places are Pie Five $7.50 for food) and Zoup (<$10), but I also frequent Moe's ($10) and Zoe's (can range from cheap to >$10). Or if you want to go REALLY cheap, there's Cici's ;-) ($6 for the pizza buffet I think? Lol. Can't beat that). But most of those don't have alcohol. I know Pie Five and Moe's do...
