A blog entry examining whether or not eating out is actually becoming cheaper than eating in. The takeaway? In some cases, it may be more cost effective but it's rarely healthier.

Quoted: As an experiment, Rob Cockerham spent all of February 2004 “eating in”, consuming only food from grocery stores. He calculated that he spent $11.55 per day on food and drink. (If you subtract alcohol, he spent $8.65 per day.) He spent 48 minutes per day preparing food.
