this could be breakfast lunch and/or dinner, but does NOT include workweek lunches. outside of work.

but a sit down joint, NO fast food (ie BK, McD, Wendy, Panera)

Re: how often do you go out to eat?

1-4 times a week is a big range. We eat out once a week and bring in once a week.

1x/week - Friday nights.

If we have people visiting, then it's a little different.

Also, sometimes we'll also do our favorite Sunday brunch at this beautiful restaurant overlooking the water.

Re: how often do you go out to eat?

Depends... we used to go out Thurs, Fri and Sat, but obviously trying to save money and since we have a baby coming I get too tired. Probably 1 or 2 times a week... either that or take in.

yeah, I thought that might be the case. I hate doing polls Chat Icon

we generally go out for dinner once a week, and then for brunch/lunch once a week.

I usually cook most other meals. sometimes we'll have pizza or chinese...or if we are feeling super cheap, authentic jamaican beef patties from Christie's on Flatbush Chat Icon Chat Icon

About once a month, maybe less.

I love to cook and am pretty good at it. I often end up disappointed by restaurant food -- although it IS fun to get dressed up and be waited on every now and then. Chat Icon

I am the exact same way.

I go out maybe once a month, for the same reason as PP and I am on a strict budget.

We eat out A LOT! it's only DH and I and by the time we get home from work, we are just too tired to cook.

It's a habit we are trying to get out of and we are trying to at least cook a few times a week.

Re: how often do you go out to eat?

we used to go out 1-2 times per week, but not anymore. We are hard core budgeting and have a toddler at home, so it's rare. Plus I can have a gorgeous steak dinner with all the sides for under $35 at home.

We go out to eat maybe once a week, or every other week. My DH and I both don't mind cooking.

Re: how often do you go out to eat?

Usually on Friday & Saturday nights we do either take out sushi or we go out to dinner. This gives us both a break from the cooking & cleaning up

Re: how often do you go out to eat?

once a week.... DH and I do all the weekly shopping errands and the laundry on fri night.... we treat ourselves to take-out that night (basically becuase as is, we only get the food in the fridge and the sheets on the bed by 1am Chat Icon )

Re: how often do you go out to eat?

Out to eat, almost never. Oddly enough, I don't remember the last time I ate out with DH or DC. Every other month or so I may go out with friends. We do get take-out on Fridays. It's my one treat.

Re: how often do you go out to eat?

We go out to dinner on Saturday nights and if we have lunch on the weekends (which is rare) we grab something while we're out. During the week all meals are from home.

We'll bring in once, go out once. Often we go to Moe's in Roslyn where it's probably cheaper to EAT there than buy food. Chat Icon
