Carry only limited money with you when going to the restaurant to avoid extra expenses.

Something happened to me today. I went to the restaurant to eat and I was with some extra money. I ate for the amount that I had budgeted to eat but I was not satisfied with the food. I had to order more and more because I was with cash and ended up eating three times over my budget.

If I didn't have the money on me to pay, I would have managed and gone home. Don't go to the restaurant with extra cash.

Anyone that doesn't have self control would still eat that food on credit. It is not about not carrying cash. It is about having self control.

I too have found that one very useful. Basically when one carries some extra money a long with them they are mostly likely to spend it impulsively.

I usually bring some extra cash or my credit card when I go to restaurant. Just in case something happens, I can always go to another restaurant.

When the food is also very tasty, you might easily be forced to eat more of it. That is why cooking at home is still the best v

I totally agree with this infsct just stop carrying extra money anywhere to avoid impulsive buying that's the truth

 

[Xtynehappy]

Of course yes. This can be very helpful for the people that are not disciplined with the sticking to their budgets.

Sometimes, food in the restaurant can be so delicious that you decide to take extra beyond what you normally need.

It is very true that if you carry small amount of cash, you can limit your expenses not just in restaurants but also in shops

 

[Xtynehappy]

For me l really consider dinning out as an extra expenses because most restaurants charge higher cost of food compared to cooking food by yourself.

That's true, when you have little with you, you tend to spend less. Though I don't really go to the restaurant, unless it is needed.

Even if I bring much money to a resto I can still control. I am not a heavy eater and spender. I also seldom dine out with friends. I like to dine with my family.

That's right having more money with you means spending more. The thing is to spend less so go with less money

I could not agree more. It’s best to avoid carrying extra money to prevent overspending. When we have extra cash on hand, it’s easy to be tempted to buy things we don’t actually need. Make sure to have discipline to prevent these situations from happening.

Another is to be contented with what you have been initially served. No need to asked for extras

It would be easy not to ask for extra when you don't have extra money. That's why you should not even go there with extra money.

Yes more cash with one means buying more things . So to completely avoid that one needs to limit stepping out with more money
