[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you do something like, on Friday night you order pizza (feels like a treat, you don't have to cook, not super expensive), you can go out to eat on Saturday night, somebody cooks on Sunday night, and for weekend lunches you either eat at home or just buy sandwiches out, no huge restaurant meal?  [/quote]

I'd change the ordering in pizza - it actually adds up if you order more than 1 pizza (cheese only for kids, something more elaborate for adults).  You can easily spend $40.  I'd do pizza, but frozen.  Maybe 1 out of 4 times order pizza delivery.

Otherwise we're in the same boat as you.  In our case, it's that our kids are now in after school activities so a couple of nights week we get takeout.  Not healthy and not inexpensive, but when gymnastics is from 5-7 it's hard to eat before or wait until you get home and heat something up.  But when we started this routine e did not cut back on weekend eating out.  for us, it's so nice to eat breakfast out.

We generally cook something big (stew, hearty soup, casserole) on Sunday nights that gives another meal during the week.  Have to work on the rest.  [/quote]
