At least initially, absolutely. It completely changed the way my wife and I shopped and we all but stopped eating out. After a month or so it seems to have leveled out. We collected a dozen or so recipes we liked and were easy to make, and we knew what we could and could not get at restaurants. At this point, the net effect is that we spend more money on food, eat at home more often, and often order modified meals at restaurants (e.g. chicken fajitas, but instead of tortillas, rice, and beans we'll just have guacamole).
