Take-Aways Can Be An Expensive Habit

Take-aways are so tempting after a long day when the last thing you want to do is cook a meal. For some reason we don't think of them on the same way as going out for a meal but more often than not we pick them up from Indian and Chinese restaurants where we could just as easily sit down and enjoy them there. 

So if we are doing our utmost to save money and are cutting back on meals out what is it that convinces us that take-aways are ok? Well, it could be that because we eat them at home it feels like it's alright and the cost issue is somehow blanked from our consciousness. It could be that in a similar way to eating out we consider it a treat every now and again and that we deserve it. Nothing wrong in this at all providing it is only now and again and doesn't become a weekly habit. 

Be careful with your take-aways, they should be considered a treat as they'll cost you just as much as a meal out.
