Unit 615. Eating out can get expensive.

< 본문 >

I love eating out, but this becomes an issue when you start to spend all your money on restaurants.

English On The Go

I'm a huge foodie and I absolutely adore eating out.

I love trying different cuisines, and I'm not at all a picky eater, so eating out has always been something I love to do.

And I know a lot of people may splurge on either shopping or traveling or partying,

but for me it's always clearly been eating out.

And this becomes an issue when you live in an expensive city such as London,

and unfortunately that's the case for me.

So these days I've been noticing how much money I really spend on restaurants,

and the solution to this has been to try cooking at home.

So I've actually been quite enjoying this because I've noticed my cooking skills are improving.

And also this way I can ensure I'm using nutritious and healthy ingredients,

whereas when you eat out at a restaurant, you never truly know what's going into your food.

So, overall I'm quite content because I've been noticing my expanded culinary skills and also I'm saving up some money while doing this.
