<prompt> Human: So me and my wife have really been trying to reduce our budget, because we were just straight up spending way to much on various things, using Mint we were able to finally get a better look at our spending..and holy hell...2 of us were spending almost 1200 dollars on food a MONTH, which is ridiculous. At first I thought, theirs no way...this must be a mistake, I mean holy shit, its almost a mortgage and a half on food. So then I did some digging and it was indeed correct, so we finally made a plan for ourselves. Grocery shop for everyday but date day one day a week, and if we eat out its something cheap 10 bucks. and once a month we go somewhere somewhat nice 30 bucksWeve reduced our Monthly budget from 1200-1300 dollars a month to 450...which while isnt perfect is pretty damn good. Now just gotta stick with it.But yeah either way...food...damn its easy to spend a shitload of it.  <response>: Its very easy to spend a lot when you eat out often.
