How many times a week do you eat take out?

Never. We like our own food.

This sums us up well. Occasionally DH or I will go out with colleagues or grab dinner together or with friends but that’s maybe once or twice more per month. We get take out about once every two weeks.

Trying to make my teens realize that getting food out all the time is a huge waste of money

Zero.
Maybe pizza once every 6 - 8 weeks.

Sushi every Friday

As a family for dinner? Probably thai or pizza 3x every 2 weeks.

For lunch or extra meals: teen gets Chipotle or ChikFilA maybe 1-2 times in that same time span, with friends or on the way home from practice as 2nd dinner. I will get Chopt 1-2 times every 2 weeks too. DH buys lunch in his fancy corporate cafeteria.

We probably eat out in a restaurant once every week if you average out the period of doing this less or more.

Once a week, sometimes twice but not often.

I’ve learned to make a lot of things at home and it tastes better, with better ingredients and healthier.

But I do need a break sometimes and I want to enjoy myself too.

I used to love Italian but now my sauce is to die for, my calamari is fabulous, my focaccia is delicious and I make a killer Italian dressing like Luciano’s did at the mall. I do cheat and get tiramisu at Costco. Going out is really pricey now.

Me: 1-2 times times a week
DH: 5 days a week.

1-2 a month. Used to be more often.

Probably once every other week and it's only pizza, Moby Dick, or Peruvian chicken. We keep the bill to under $50 and get 2 meals out of it, so it ends up being not all that expensive but still more than cooking at home.

We go to sit down restaurants only for special occasions.

I would say 3-4 times per month. That could look like a pizza night for the family, DH getting home really late from work and just ordering a meal for himself, or me and DH getting our own meal after feeding the kids something like frozen chicken nuggets. But we don't order delivery food more than 4 times per month, total. It just doesn't taste as good as something we can make at home.

Every Friday. And we will also usually eat out on Saturday or Sunday.

Norm is no takeout. Maybe once or twice a month dh will bring home something like sushi. We never do food delivery though. He gets it directly.

Four or five times a year. PUPATELLA.
