I have no problem eating alone in a restaurant (and usually have a great time) as long as there's a bar to eat at. I'm less inclined to sit at a table.
I was never comfortable eating alone in restaurants until I worked in a restaurant and realized that there's nothing wrong with the people who eat alone. They didn't cry, they weren't socially inept, and they were (mostly) all very pleasant.
About the frugality v. simplicity - it feels like the author means convenience when she says simplicity. And yes, convenience will often be more wasteful.
