Do You Cook at Home to Save Money? — Survey of the Day
One of the best ways to save money is cooking at home rather than dinning out.
In these times, are Americans choosing to do that?
According to a new poll from Harris Interactive — which suggests the economic recovery is still a long way from being over — more and more people are dining in.
The survey asked 2,451 adults if they agree with the statement “I find myself cooking more instead of going out in order to save money.” Seventy-one percent did agree, with 41 percent agreeing strongly. Among the 26 percent who didn’t agree with the statement, nine percent disagreed strongly.
Despite this move away from dining out, 63 percent of the poll’s respondents had still been to a fast food restaurant chain in the past month, and about half have dined at a local casual dining establishment.
