How often do you....

[drrn04]

We order pizza about 3x/month, and actually go out to eat maybe once every 2 months. But when we go out, it is to a great restaurant, w/out the kids. Too much hassle to take them anywhere right now.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

A couple times a month.

[cabbage10]

I absolutely adore going out to dinner. I am not a fan of cooking but like many people said, it is getting costly. We rarely go out without getting a restaurant.com coupon or a groupon deal or something similar that gives us a big discount, but it still cuts into the budget.

However, we just got a crock pot for Christmas and I think that is going to make it easier for us (me) to not impulsively say let's go out!

A couple times a week. It's one of our vices.

We get takeout about once a week. Dining out is expensive and exhausting with our kids. I keep telling DH we need to take them out more so they learn how to behave, but instead we avoid going out.

[jenna]

We get take out 2-3x a week. We rarely eat out since it's so much more convenient to eat at home.

[julesf84]

Once a week usually.

[murdock]

Once or twice a month in order to save. We get take-out/pizza usually once a week.

[WOT?*]

Several times per week, which needs to change.

Neither of us cooks, so...LOL.

[lust2hart]

3-4 times a month.

[dapotato]

most weekend meals & usually friday night dinner...so about 5? and we have takeout for dinner most weeknights. and i go to sit-down restaurants with co-workers for lunch almost every day. lol.

i do miss cooking but don't have time for the meal planning, shopping, and cooking with my current work hours & commute.

once a week. I would love to do more, but it is too $$$ and not healthy. Usually saturday or sunday dinner.

Someone who said they eat out 5+ times a week, will you share your eating out budget?

[Deleted]

I have no budget.

[sugarbear]

We get takeout every Friday from the same place (we don't even have to order anymore! We eat out occasionally on Saturdays, but we try to keep it to a minimum.

[AAM2012]

Since going GF we go maybe once a month if I feel like risking it. Before, we used to go out 4-5 times but we mostly went out for lunches rather than dinners.

[RoxMonster]

We are trying to cut down for money and health reasons. We love going out to eat. Lately it has been 2-3 times per week. I'd love to make it just once a week and go someplace nice (non-chain) that has good quality food, even if it costs a little more, rather than 2 or 3 meals at chain restaurants.

[PinkSquirrel]

We probably go out to eat once a month. Takeout is a whole different animal that we need to work on.

[Deleted]

It used to be 3-4 times a week. Now it's once at the most.

we don't really have a budget for food. if i tracked it, i'd probably be horrified as i'm a cheapass. however, we're fortunate enough to have $ left over after bills and food to spend/save/whatever, so i don't worry about it.

plus most of our takeout is pretty inexpensive and not that unhealthy. my cooking is still cheaper and sometimes healthier than takeout, but right now our time is worth more than the money we'd save.

[lurkergirl123]

My husband eats out for lunch 2x a week. We have one nice date night a month and then maybe pick up fast food or pizza for the whole family twice a month.

[luckyval]

We usually order take out on Fridays, try to keep it to once a week

[lightbulbsun]

H and I don't go out very often just the 2 of us. Maybe 1-2x/month?

I do happy hours with my friends about once a week and will order an app.

[leeann]

Way, way too much. Neither of us packs a lunch, so we both eat that out everyday. Dinner, we order in or go out at least 3 times a week.

[Cioccolato]

Once a month. Dinner out in Switzerland usually costs around $100-$120.

[Deleted]

We might get pizza or subs as takeout once a week, but usually only eat out as a family or couple twice a month.

[cheeseandcrackers]

We eat out about once or twice a week, typically on Friday and Saturday.
I always cook at home on the weekday and bring in lunches.

Eating out is cheap for us because we always use groupons,livingsocial, or restaurant .com :Y:
