Its funny you say that I had the same conversation with my father just prior to posting this article. He said isn't this all common sense stuff? My response was and how many people do you know who are financially "on the ball." After that he said go ahead and write the article...lol
Btw, I love Chinese food so eating out is definitely also one of my vices. But couponing does help there, the guide books and coupon mailers that come every week can dictate were it is I go eat also. 10% or $5 to $10 off are worth it and add up over time.
Thanks for the response by the way!
