In 2015 people spent more money eating out in restaurants than they did on groceries, and many grocery stores are feeling the pinch. By January of this year, the total in restaurant sales had reached $61 billion, while grocery sales had fallen to $56 billion, a $5 billion difference. What’s more, restaurant meals are three times as expensive as home-cooked meals at a time when 28% of people have zero emergency savings.
