I agree about the 'apples and oranges' comparison. But they are related. If you have a fixed number of pieces of fruit, the more apples you have, the fewer oranges! i.e., the more you eat out, the less you eat in, meaning that the divisor of your weekly grocery bills gets smaller making your $$$ per meal larger.
