Why? I can't see it myself. Eating out means spending lots of time driving to a restaurant, reading menus, waiting for the waitron to take your order & bring food, etc. Now if it's a social occasion, sure, but just for a meal alone? Far easier to cook.

Likewise with electricity, why do you love using it? Does it give you a thrill? Me, I like some of the things that are achieved via electricity, but just using it doesn't improve my quality of life at all. And I do like the way the pennies I save mount up. I live as comfortably as my neighbors, if not more so, but have a power bill that runs at least $50/month less. That's money I can spend on things that give me more enjoyment.
