MIKE SMITH" data-source="post: 4161304" data-attributes="member: 44552"><p>I was on the road for 20 years and eating out does not turn me on, but my wife and daughter think we need to do it some. My answer- use a credit card that pays points, and charge everything, but damn sure pay it off every month without fail. I currently have about a dozen or so gift cards to a number of different restaurants, so when they force me out, I'm covered. Only do this if you are discipline enough to not ever let a card bill go unpaid. Avoid eating even McDonalds- hell that's $10-$12 bucks now days unless you are like me. On the rare occasion I am out and need some lunch, I get a McChicken for $2.50 to go, and drink my refilled bottled water I always have with me. I make it do till dinner. Being cheap, makes it less hard when you have to pay for work, but like some of the early commits, I try to fix a lot of stuff myself. The real deal- being cheap provides me with funds for buying any weapon I desire, when I want to.</p></blockquote><p></p>
