In these hard times just about everyone is trying to budget their money. Just because you are trying to budget wisely it doesn't mean you have to cut out eating out all together. One thing you can do if you eat out a lot is try to hold of until you are only going out once a week, then twice a month, etc. After that you can work it down to where you are only eating out on special occasions which can save you so much money.
When you are out for dinner something you can do to save money is try to order the specials. These are offered daily and some restaurants offer buy one get one deals.
Something else you can do is request that you split a large entree between two people since most restaurants entree's are so large. Restaurants will normally do this for free, or they will do it for a small charge of a dollar or two. Either way it saves you a lot of money.
You can also bring home left overs and use them for, lets say, lunch the next day.

Homemade Butter in 5 Minutes!
No need to spend hours churning butter to have wonderful tasting homemade butter. Plus it is healthier than the kind you buy in stores.
All you need to make this butter is 16 oz of heavy cream(chilled), 1/2 tsp of salt, and a mixer(preferably a standing mixer but a hand mixer will work, the standing ones are just easier since you don't have to hold it).
Put the ingredients in your mixer and turn the mixer on to high. You will be going a step past whipped cream, the process will take about 3 minutes. It will then deflate and start to look like scrambled eggs. You will keep beating for a few more seconds and you will notice water start to separate from the butter(this is actually buttermilk and can be saved for later use if you want it).
Once the buttermilk has formed stop mixing. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fill the bowl with cold, running water. With your hands, squeeze the butter to form a ball. Keep massaging the ball under the cold water until the water runs clear. This insures that all the buttermilk has been removed, that way the butter will stay fresh longer.
Once your water runs clear wrap in parchment paper, or put into a small serving dish and cover it up. Then put it in the fridge. This is great tasting butter and it is fast to make. I highly recommend this butter!
