For the most part. At some restaurants, I opted for an appetizer instead of a dessert or decided a menu item on the appetizer list + a side would be more appealing than an entree. I included 1 TS per day and 1 QS per day. I'm not sure if I hit 2 snacks per day, but I'm pretty sure I did. I did NOT include drink costs for me because I personally do not drink anything other than water at a restaurant.
So all that is to say, there are things I would order on the dining plan that I wouldn't order if I were paying OOP, and there are things I would order paying OOP that I wouldn't order on the dining plan.
I can order any and everything I want and still pay less OOP than I would on the DDP.
Yeah that seems to be the way that people end up cutting the cost from the DDP and that OOP is cheaper but I am still hoping to find that someone might have actually saved money doing OOP with eating the exact way of the DDP. I am really interested to hear how they did it if its possible.
