Question: How often do you stimulate the local economy by dining out?

I used to go out for lunch every day. And dinner at least two or three times a week. Those days are long gone.

About once a month, at least for me. Hubby tends to eat lunches out a bit more often since he is usually out and about working on clients machines at their place.
