You must be a real miserable person to go out to dinner with constantly complaining to your wife and kids not to order certain things because too expensive and you can buy it cheaper at the store.
You go out to dinner with all your work colleagues and the first thing you say is: "Oh my God, look at these prices. I would NEVER pay this if I hosted"
Stay home and make yourself PB&J sandwiches and put your savings in the bank. That is what you should be doing.

No idea why you're being a dick about it.. you said you expensed it and I said that's also the only way I'd go there, too.
And you do know a pour of bourbon in a restaurant is exactly the same pour from a bottle at Total Wine, right? It's not specially prepared like food, versus grocery store food. I love trying bourbon that way when a bottle is $300, so you pay a bit for a small pour... but, you're just bending over at the table paying half the price of a bottle for 2oz. That's an insane margin for cheap bottles.
Obviously, something like retirement isn't a goal for you given all the money you throw at things to feed your insecurities, and that's cool, I guess.
And guess I should start a thread every time I pay more than $50 for a meal, or get super defensive and tell you about a time I spent good money for food... but, I'm just not nearly that insecure.
