Its called "pretentious" but it should be called ridiculous! WHY do "upscale" restaurants charge their customers SO much when all they serve are little itty bitty portions of food that are hardly even visible on your plate?!

Tricky question you have there. Different people will have different ways of saving based on their tastes and where they live. I am in the south. I now make more meals using beans and rice. Both are easy to make and cheap. Instead of buying ham or bacon for seasoning, I use smoked breakfast sausage. I also buy canned salmon and tuna. I stock up on pasta and rice, as both are cheaper then potatoes. I buy either fresh veggies from a farmer's market or I go to a wholesaler and buy bulk frozen veggies. Either is cheaper then a grocery store right now. If you are able to and know how to can, you can save a bundle on other food items. For example, I make and can my own jelly, syrup, pickles, peanut butter, bbq sauce, and mayo. I buy in bulk when meats are on sale, (I do have a large deep freezer). Also having hunters and fisherman in the family helps. When you plan a meal, plan on a way to use the leftover's. I cooked a pork tenderloin last week, (I feed 3 adults and 2 children every night). On the night I cooked the pork we had sliced pork sandwiches. On the next night, I made rice and heated the pork in a soy glaze with summer squash, and had that. On the third night, I diced the remaining pork, tossed some green and red peppers in the skillet along with a can of stewed tomatoes, adding garlic, onions, basil, and parsley, and served this over egg noodles that had been tossed with parm. cheese., for a Italian tasting meal. It was all a matter of planning ahead. To save money only takes a little time, and effort, and a great big imagination.

I think buying any high price food is ridiculous.
It goes in one end and comes out the other.
Just eat cheap and nutritious, forget spending lots of money.
It only tastes good for a few minutes and it is gone.
I sure wouldn't want to go to a place like that and I wouldn't go back.

because people are willing to buy it - for eg maybe you did it and now have buyer's remorse. I don't go to restaurants like that - but they obviously would only stay in business if someone went (or maybe they are all just drug fronts)
