It is getting harder and harder to even find a glass of wine for $6 unless it is happy hour. I usually end up paying closer to $8 which is ridiculous but I do it anyway.. What is dinner without a glass or two of wine?

I never eat out alone.

But I do eat with people sometimes. Probably the most I'd spend was $15 to $20, including tip. This would be the top end, $20 absolute max.

I do go to places like McDonalds & White Castle for coffee and a hot-apple-pie or cookie or for coffee to go with maybe a banana or orange that I bring along. This snack thing would be +/- $3.

For a better coffee shops for a large latte and pastry and tip would be up to $7 max

I spend around Rs.1000/- when I go for a dinner or lunch outside.

Probably 20 or 25 dollars, but it can easily be more if I have 2 or 3 drinks. It's expensive to go out, so I try to cook at home as much as I can.

That wouldn't be Catfish Platter on Hwy 377 would it? I love their catfish...it's the best I've had!

No, Catfish Platter on Hwy 377 is near Kingston, Oklahoma, which is southeast of where I live. It is good as we've eaten there when we travel that part of the state.

I live in southwest Oklahoma. Bill's Catfish just outside of Waurika, Oklahoma, is closest to us. That is the one my husband and I go to when we need a "catfish fix." It's about thirty miles south of our town.

I almost never order drinks when I go out to eat. If I do, it is something like beer or wine. Ordering soda at every meal is a terrible habit money wise and health wise.

$20-$30 on weekends, $6-$12 on weekdays.

If I eat alone, I average around $8 but that depends. If I'm studying at a local hookah joint it could be around $30 with a hookah, pot of tea and food. If I'm out with my husband or husband with the kids then it's easily $50-100 unless we hit a drive through which I don't really like.

$15 for most meals in sit down places, $5 for fast food meals.

[elementswhiteplains]

Usually if I'm out I spend almost $10-15 a day.

When I do go out it is usually about $20.00 however, that includes the meal I am having in the restaurant and one meal that I have them pack to go.
