A Meal a Month
Recently I planned to meet up with some friends for dinner in the city and I began to wonder what an average meal costs when eating out in San Francisco. I’m not talking a swanky meal. I’m not talking fast food. I’m talking about an average meal in San Francisco. What do you think the average meal costs?
According to a Zagat Survey from 2012, San Francisco is the 5th most expensive city to eat out in the US! When reviewing the survey further, I learned that the average meal in San Francisco costs…(drum roll)…$38.88. What do you think? Does this seem reasonable or unreasonable for a meal in San Francisco?
I began to think about our guests in our dining room and wondering just how far $38.88 would go at St. Anthony’s. After a quick calculation, I learned that $38.88 at St. Anthony’s Dining Room serves 89 warm nutritious meals. Could I forego an average meal in San Francisco once a month to make a gift of $38.88 to St. Anthony’s? Have you ever considered making a monthly gift to St. Anthony’s? Are you currently making a monthly gift to St. Anthony’s?
