I've long held this observation that i can get 70-80% of the quality for 20-30% of the price for most restaurants and dine out/eat out/take out foods.. May take more time but it's more enjoyable and satisfying. I'll splurge on an exquisite meal but the availability where I am is lacking (mostly good or very good, not even superb) and superb to exquisite prices.
I guess there are those who don't enjoy cooking or have the skills who may hold a different viewpoint.
