We got about 12 responses to my call for help.

The average number of times people thought we could eat out on the card was 45.29 times. The data was a bit skewed though — one person thought we could eat 400 times because they suggested we simply buy a box of pancake mix from Publix.

It was pretty evenly split between “Sharing is fine” and “It doesn’t matter” as well.

It looks like we’ll be sharing all our meals and hunting out the best deals in hopes of eating out about 10 times.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! Feeling good yet?

When Amanda and I signed the lease for our apartment, we put down that we found the apartment complex through Rent.com, which we did. Now that it’s been about 4 months, Rent.com is finally sending us our $100 Visa pre-paid check card. So we have decided to try something — an experiment if you will.

The experiment: How many times can we eat dinner on this card?

The idea is to maximize the number of times we eat on the card. We won’t be ordering any appetizers or drinks. We’ll only be paying for the actual food and the tip. We’re also going to search out good deals. We aren’t going to walk into a place like Longhorn because it would probably be 1/3 to 1/4 gone immediately.

Problem: Should we share food or not? We aren’t going to starve ourselves — we are going to get enough food to be a full meal — but is sharing cheating? Personally, I don’t think so, but we wanted to know what you thought.

So before we start the experiment, anonymously answer my quick poll question
so I can get some second opinions.

I’ll post the results of the poll a little later. Thanks.
