Dining Out?

not breakfast or lunch. Just dinner.

Re: Dining Out?

Once a week, on average. However, it's not always a fancy restaurant and sometimes we don't go out, we order take-out. I usually cook a meal for dinner 6 nights a week. The other night is take out or going out.

Re: Dining Out?

It's hard to answer. Before I was preggo, we either ate out twice per week or ate out once and ordered in once, on average.

Now that I'm on bedrest, we order in at least 5x a week.

Re: Dining Out?

maybe twice a week.

Re: Dining Out?

We actually go out and eat in a restaurant once or twice a week. But since becoming pregnant, we get take-out about 2 or 3 times a week on top of that.

Re: Dining Out?

It really depends on the week, what our schedules are like, what time we get home at night, etc. Some weeks we probably don't eat out at all, other weeks almost every day. Maybe twice a week on average. Nothing fancy though.

Re: Dining Out?

Before DS we would go out 2-3x/week...
He is 7mo and we've gone out 2x since he's been born! We order in 1-2x week.

Re: Dining Out?

We order in or go out to dinner once every 4-6 weeks. I know we are strange.

I grew up in a house that went out to dinner once a week, ordered pizza once a week, and got fast food at least once per week.

Re: Dining Out?

We rarely go out to dinner. I can't remember the last time we went to a nice restaurant, outside of a family event someone else paid for.

This is for several reasons:
1.) the financial aspect. Times have been tough lately, so to spend over $40.00 even at the diner seems so wasteful to me.

2.) We have a 2 1/2 year old.

3.) DH work schedule. By the time he gets home, it's so much easier to just eat here or grill something and relax on the deck.


Maybe once a month or so we will order a pizza of get some kind of fast food.

Re: Dining Out?

We usually order in once a week and go out for dinner once a week.

Re: Dining Out?

Depends on our schedules, if we're both in the city, how the trains are running. If we get home after 7:30 we usually order in. But some weeks we don't eat out/order in at all. I'd say on average maybe 2-3 times per month.

Re: Dining Out?

I'm going to say 1x/week NORMALLY. I used to cook 6 nights/week and we'd go for sushi/happy hour 1 night/week.

Now, we are living with my parents and they eat out/order in A LOT so I don't even want to count that, but come August it will be back to 1 night/week!

Re: Dining Out?

I'd say about 2 nights per week. Sometimes it's more, but it's generally not less.

Re: Dining Out?

all meals out, we are so busy we are never home anymore. I havn't used my kitchen in forever...DH has been working 120 hours a week, and I have been working about 60 a week.

Re: Dining Out?

Minmum of two, more often three, lately. I cook during the week but friday we usually order in or go out. Almost always go out saturday night and sunday we usually go out with one of our families.

Re: Dining Out?

It varies. Usually once every week or so, but there have been weeks where we've been super lazy and have gone 2-3 times.

Re: Dining Out?

(Not counting last week when we were on vacation.... )
We usually go out to eat maybe once a month, give or take.

Re: Dining Out?

maybe once a week to order pizza or chinese but def not every week. We go out to dinner about once a month.

Re: Dining Out?

About once every other week.

Re: Dining Out?

I would say we average once a week overall.

I love to cook, or else we'd probably go out more. we are surrounded by great restaurants.

Re: Dining Out?

I cook or we eat leftovers or eat at one of our parents houses maybe once a week. We both prefer home cooking, i love to cook and its generally less $$ to cook, so it works for us!
we do the occasional pizza tho!

Re: Dining Out?

we only eat out once a week for the financial aspect but mainly because we are very health conscious and only get one "cheat meal" a week where we can splurge on restaurant foods. I wish we had more of those spurge meals! lol

Re: Dining Out?

we only eat out 1 or 2 times a month, I cook most of the time.

Re: Dining Out?

Between take out and dining out- about once a week.
Usually less in the summer b/c we end up at so many BBQs on the weekends!

Re: Dining Out?

we will order from somewhere maybe 2 times a week
