Eating out
So we just went on our first week long camping trip with the family to a new camping "resort" in the area. Loved it, the place was magnificent! We packed our travel trailer full of food and snacks...

We rarely "eat out".
Fast food restaurants are not "fast" nor have good quality food..
Over the years we have weaned off the fast food thing and now when we camp we make our own meals at our pace using better quality ingredients and no worries about how poorly the restaurant cleans/maintains the facility or if the hired help has really sent badly made food out..
We save money, time and get better service..
Before leaving home we make a meal plan of what we want to eat, buy the pack that food and take with us.
At the campground, we buy things that do not keep like milk bread and buns as needed.. Once in a great while we may venture out to a restaurant but paying $50 for two adults and one teenager for one meal is far too expensive to do more than once.
We grill chicken, burgers, dogs, steaks.. Make our own sloppy Joe, chipped ham BBQ, baked potatoes, rice, fries, boxed mac and cheese (not my favorite but DD loves it) and most any other sides we can think of like we do at home. Sometimes we will fill in with some cold cuts sandwiches and bagged chips.
Some things like burgers, dogs, chicken, steak we make extra as leftovers for the next days lunch! Makes for a very quick inexpensive meal that warms up in the micro!
