HOW MUCH DOES IT COST FOR DINNER?What’s your favorite dinner? Do you like grabbing a fast-food hamburger, enjoying a slice of pizza on Friday night, or eating your family’s delicious meatloaf? Have you ever thought about how much it costs to make a meal and why your parents may say “No” when you ask to eat out or order in?

If your family is like most, your parents may be trying to stick to a budget. A budget is a plan people use to control their spending and help with saving. Eating out may not be in your family’s budget, but that’s okay. Did you know that it costs less to make meals at home? Plus, home-cooked meals are actually better for you.

You can make a large pizza at home for about $6, or buy one from a restaurant for about $12. That’s a savings of $6!
