How often do you go out to eat?

[CJK]

How often do you go out for a meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) in the average week?

For me, it's about 3 times a week but used to be higher. Both dh and I don't enjoy cooking so it's so much nicer to go out!! However, we're trying to eat better and spend less money on dining out so we're limiting our meals out to 3. It's hard to do though, especially on the weekends!!

Probably 3-5 times per week.

Mostly on the weekends....usually dinner on Friday night, sometimes breakfast on Saturday morning, dinner Saturday night....depends on the mood!!!

It use be every Friday and Saturday until I start doing a budget every month because i could not afford to eat out.

The only time I eat out now is when my job ask me to work over, when having a special birthday dinner, or when I don't have time to cook something at all.

It's down to 4 times a month or less now.

We go to my mother's every Sunday, so I put once a week. We used to go out more often until I started the Let's Dish thing in the next town. I tried it just once, I thought, since it is pretty expensive, but the food is so good I have kept it up. I don't feel inclined to go out so often now, so we are saving money on restaurant expenses, but we are eating food at least as good as we get in some restaurants, only cheaper. I like the variety and trying new things, also.

I voted for Never although that's not really true. I go out for dinner maybe twice a month or so. So since that's less then 1-3 times a week I choose Never.

Friday, Saturday & Sunday. In the summer it's less cause we sometimes barbecue on the weekends.

3-5 times a week.

Usually just once on the weekends. I love too cook and it's cheaper, easier, and I enjoy eating in the quietness and privacy of my own home rather than a loud restaurant.

I eat lunch out at work every day so thats 5 right there...we go out to breakfast on Saturdays, lunch at least once a weekend and then to dinner a few times a week so it would have to be 8 or more times.

You didn't have my answer on the poll, so I will tell you here...usually about once a month.

I am not even sure where my kitchen is.

We don't always eat out once a week either, but I voted 1 to 3 because never really didn't fit. Sometimes we eat out once in a week, sometimes twice and sometimes we go weeks without eating out at all.

We usually eat out 1-2 times a week, but I wish it was more! I HATE to cook. The last thing I feel like doing after a long day at work is stand in front of the stove.

I'm known for my personal chef...His name is Pat, as in "Pat's Pizza".

 

[korzmom]

i voted for 1-3 times because at home its usually just a saturday since we're out running and i dont have time to make a meal, but at wdw on vacation its more like 4...hence my signature....fast food queen!!!

I know that's right. I don't feel like standing in front of a stove either. We go out to eat on the weekends. Usually order a pizza or get chinese Friday nights!

 

[swankybeth]

Usually once a weekend or even not at all. This week was an anomaly because I went out for wings on Monday, Friday I went out with my parents for Chinese, Saturday we went out for burgers and tonight DH got me Panera Bread because I didn't like the meal MIL cooked. Usually we try to eat at home to save money and eat healthier.

 

[MNmom2]

LAtely it seems like it's way too often. Either I can't think of what to make or I am craving something from a certain restaurant. Or we have something going on that night and it's easier to juist grab something on our way. Or it's the wknd and it's my night off from cooking. I would hate to see what we actually spend in a yr on eating out.

Great! This way our 2 votes average out just about right.
