Plan your meals for two days and prepare two different budgets. List each item of food and the cost. Include beverages consumed. One budget should reflect the costs to prepare every meal in your home for two days. The other budget should reflect the costs to eat out for every meal for two days.

Show ALL calculations. Every item should have a cost, and you must show how cost is computed. Meals out should state the restaurant and should reflect each item as well as tax and tip. Do not round your figures. Be exact. Show any savings between the two budgets. Budget 1 is two days of meals at home. Budget 2 is two days of meals out. Note: In planning each two day meal plan, create as typical a plan as you can to your usual eating patterns. Helpful Hint: If you were having a bowl of cereal as a meal, the entire box might cost $4.00 but a bowl from the box might only be 50 cents. Same for the milk -- you are only using a portion of the entire container of milk. Show these calculations. Show all of this work in computing the cost of each item.
