Do you go out for a meal or get take-out (fast food) at least once a week?

DH and I go to a sit-down restaurant every Friday night for date night. It's our time to talk and wind down from the crazy week.

We eat out just about every meal. I don't cook.

I eat lunch out all week long when I am working and most of the time we eat lunch out on Saturday. We usually have 2-3 dinners out during the week too. Today we actually had breakfast, lunch and dinner out since we have been on the go since 7am.

No, I rarely go out to eat. I'd much rather fix my meals at home it's healthier and cheaper. Plus when I cook at home I know what's in my food.

We eat out almost all meals. Neither DD15 nor I like to eat first thing in the morning, so she usually gets a snack mid morning from school and I usually skip breakfast. She eats lunch at school and I usually get something out as well - although I do sometimes stock up on lunch things and go through a spell of making something at home.

DD15 has dinner with her dad two nights a week and she is with him every other weekend. On those nights I either get a takeout something or eat something frozen - I'm a big fan of Lean Cuisines for those nights. We eat out with friends once a week regularly. That leaves me two - four nights a week to feed us and most of the time DD15has plans with friends on the weekends that include dinner. We have Sunday and Monday nights together for the most part, so if I am going to cook that's when I'll do it. It's usually easier to get something quick - those are msot likely to be our fast food nights unless she asks me to cook something special, which I would always do for her. We eat at home more in the winter when I can cook ahead and make spaghetti or soup -in the summer we are much more likely to get something out.

We usually eat out at a sit down restaurant once a week on the weekend. Could be breakfast, could be lunch or if my mom's in town, we'll take her out to dinner. Just depends on when we're out doing errands and when we get hungry.

I usually prefer home cooked food so most meals are at home. We rarely get fast food unless we're travelling or dd's home.

DH eats out everyday for lunch.

As as as me, it varies. Sometimes it is alot and sometimes it is none. Depends on what we are doing.

Ours varies depending on the week and the kids schedules, but at least once a week we are grabbing something out to eat or going to a sit down restaurant, usually twice a week.

Once the kids are grown and out of the house I can see dh and I eating out or getting take out the majority of dinners. I just don't enjoy cooking (probably because I'm not very good at it), so who wants to spend every evening doing something you don't enjoy.

We use to never eat out, now we seem to do it daily. I think we probably eat at least one meal a day out now.

Hoo boy...once a week would be a very light week for us. Let's just say we like to support our local economy!

Same here!

These past several months we've been eating out far less than we used to because I've been dieting since January. We made an effort to only eat out on weekends. Saturday mornings, DH and I go to a local diner just for a little alone time. It's really hard for me to incorporate restaurant food into a diet because when I go out, I want the bad stuff. We were doing really well there for a while, but this past month or so we've probably eaten out an average of 3-4 times a week. We've been socializing a lot more and that usually revolves around local restaurants. Unsurprisingly, my weight loss has stalled as a result.

At one point I was going to fast food and a sit down meal like twice a day. More kids and less patience to corral them got me down to picking up at the drive thru down to about 3 times a week. Now we almost never go for fast foot, it all tastes the same no matter where uou go or what you order. I still like the mexican taco shops here foe take out and I do enjoy a sit down restaurant once a month or so. I mostly do that for the cocktails and fun and just get an appetizer. My sense of taste and smell is real off lately so alot of thiiings ton't taste good or smell good to me/

I don't cook much during the week, esp in the summer. On Sunday, I cook extra, to be able to warm stuff up, and I always try to have ground turkey fried, and ready to pull out of the freezer for some quick tacos, spaghetti, sloppy joes, etc.

DH and I usually don't get home till at least 6:30, and often later for me. If we tried to cook, we wouldn't eat till after 8. I can't eat that late since I'm up for work by 5:00 the next morning.

 

[C.Ann]

No.. It's rare for me to even do it twice a year.. I don't have a very big appetite and even if I did, to me it's a waste of money.. One of those "wants" rather than "needs"..

 

[Judy from Boise]

No, more like once every two weeks, and that is pizza.I would rather spend my $ on other things.

 

[BeachGirlFLA]

Every Saturday night, I go out with DBF.
