Did your New Year’s resolutions revolve around food?

Although cliche, those optimistic pledges for self-improvement just can’t be avoided at this time of year.

Topping the list yet again according to the annual Marist College end-of-the-year resolution poll was losing weight (20%) and stopping smoking (16%). The big change this year was that “spend less money and save more” took a rocket to third place bumping “be a better person” from third to seventh place.

Comments on economizing in a recent New York Times article on resolutions often involved changing dining and eating habits. Instead of going out for a $12 glass of wine, staying in with friends and sharing a $12 bottle of wine was suggested. Brown bagging and cooking more at home were also noted as ways to cut costs.

Have you made your resolution? Does it involve eating less or spending less when it comes to dining?
