How often do you get take-out or eat out somewhere? - Page 2

[blueridgewoman]

Generally once or twice a month, and it's almost always Chipotle or Panera (salad). I do tend toget coffee out more than that, however.

[wife&mommy]

In general we each lunch out once a week on the weekend.

I am almost or probably actually phobic about eating out. We probably go out once a month for dinner, and I cannot bring mysefl to eat much. I order something veg, totally not dressed, fried or almost as little prepared as possible. I hate looking like a fuss but I just can't do it. There are a couple places that have good chopped veggie type salads and i just get it sans meat/cheese and with nuts and ask for a bottle of balsamic vinegar. My kids love to eat salads out so they will each get one of those and then usually we just order a couple dishes and make it family style because kids menus suck.

As a family maybe 2x a month? We go for all you can veggie sushi one fri a month for lunch before I go to work(usually)...and dh MIGHT p/up dinner once a month take out either thai or indian

Dh eats lunch out whenever he forgets the lunch....which might happen once a week

We use to eat out A LOT more...but well that gets beyond pricey!

We did go out 3x last week-lunch w friends one sunday(indian), all you can eat sushi on a fri and the next day I ended up having dinner with my fam and dh's parents at a mexican restaurant...but they paid

We order pizza or something in once a week. I work weekends at the hospital and I usually buy lunch 1-2x/month.

dh and i go out once a week with friends, and probably once a week, whichever kids are home from school and running errands with us will get a burger or something from a fast food place. or maybe we'll go to the chinese place, instead.

other than that, we don't really eat out. once in awhile we'll get fries and shakes or something like that from the 24 hour mcd's after kids have gone to bed. that's really about it.

depends on the season, in the winter as a family we could go without eating out for 2 weeks, but in the summer when it is nice, we are busier have more money and less time we eat out more often, this week we ate out 2x, so i'd say november-march 2-3 times a month, april-october 8 times a month...

[Emmery'sMom]

We used to get pizza every Friday and Chinese every Monday. Then I started making my own pizza and we like that so much better than our fav pizza place. The Chinese just got old. I don't remember the last time we ate out. Probably 6ish months...

[Sol_y_Paz]

Over the last couple of years seems to be less than once a month, and either a local deli or a favorite Mexican place.

We try to aim for eating out once a week, mainly so we can have a break from cooking, but also as sort of a date night. Since I've been dealing with some serious health issues for the past 9mo, I'm usually too exhausted at the end of the day to cook, so recently, we've been eating out more like 2-3x a week. We usually end up eating lunch out on Saturday because we've run out of groceries by then and we're sick of any leftovers we have. We usually grab a quick lunch out before we start our weekly grocery shopping.

Recently, we've been hitting a lot of chains that are a step up from fast food, but still quick and inexpensive (Noodles, Potbelly's, California Tortilla). We never do any of the typical fast food (McD, BK, Taco Bell, etc.). When eating out was just a once a week occurance, we'd tend to go to nicer sit-down restaurants, mostly Japanese or Mexican for our date nights. The area we live in currently has a really disappointing selection of restaurants though.

We only get take-out maybe once a month or less. It's always either pizza or Chinese.

[alicia622]

way too much!!!

we get pizza about once per week and eat out once per week (at least). We usually go for Chinese buffet or a chain restaurant when we go out. I have been trying to bring lunch to work so I don't make a run for fast food, but I tend to forget or am on the road so I don't always have stuff on hand for a cold lunch to pack.

[chezlyryan]

Twice a month for dinners, and sometimes when I have no packable food I buy lunch at work. I think I bought it everyday last December. Does getting coffee everyday count? If it does, then I eat out every day.

We usually will order pizza about once a month. It is one food that we are having a hard time giving up. There used to be a place that made organic spelt crust pizzas which were awesome! When we moved I tried making them but they were disasters! Where we live now there is a place that a least makes multigrain crust but not organic. However I am noticing more and more that my body does not like too much refined grain and yeast.

We go out to a restaurant maybe about once or twice a month.

[JamieCatheryn]

It used to be once each week or two, but I finally perfected my pizza crust recipe so we can do that at home. Also DH is out of the house many nights so we keep having extra, and now that spring is here there's so much bounty I have to have a little of everything at the market. So... once a month, maybe longer.

More than most here, I'm afraid! We eat out 2-3 times a week & usually get take-out once.
