How Much The Average Person Spends On Dinning Out
The average person spends how much on dining out? Dang…
According to Talker, new research looks into Americans’ habits when it comes to dining out and finds tighter budgets have made it less enjoyable than it used to be. According to a new poll, 67% of Americans now feel guilty when dining out.
The survey of 2-thousand U.S. adults reveals:
- Nearly a quarter (23%) say the act of spending money on a meal is stressful, and for 44%, the guilt comes from both the act of spending and how much money they’re shelling out.
- That makes sense considering two-thirds (67%) of Americans are currently stressed about money.
- While 39% have decreased their budget for eating out over the last year, 78% report that restaurant prices have also gone up during the last year.
- Nearly half (48%) of respondents say they’re more likely to go out to eat after getting their paycheck than any other time.
- A third eat at least three meals out a week, spending an average of $51.70 on them.
- They’re dining at fast-casual restaurants around three times a month and having fast food an average of four times a month.
- All those meals add up to the average American spending over $25-hundred a year on eating out.
- But some folks are getting creative to stretch their money, including 24% who’ve used a hack they saw on social media when dining out.
- Other top ways to save include using coupons (41%), taking advantage of special offers (34%) and ordering a meal that has enough food for leftovers (28%).
- Over three-fourths (77%) of respondents think grown-ups should be allowed to order from the kids’ menu, but only 21% have actually tried it.
- A third of those who did try to order off the kids menu felt embarrassed and 34% were denied.
