[quote=Anonymous]Mc here. We make a lot but also have student loans for a career (think doctor but not making 200k+). And we are a family of 5, which makes the money spread thin.

We never do delivery like DoorDash. I did when our kids were unable to stay home alone / too big to convince all of them to get in the car at the same time / a stressful period of life / using discounts but always tipping well. This would be like Saturday morning breakfast when I was overwhelmed.

Once in 2 months, or less often, we do delivery pizza. Overall those nights are relatively affordable and only if we are having an incredibly busy or stressful day.

Eating out, we do quite a bit:
-fast food. If we do this, I notice it usually isn’t for all 5 of us. It’s like 2 of us on the way home from a late game that went over dinner
-once a month, we might do a dinner out. If there is a recent great paycheck or a reason to celebrate.
-my husband does lunch out sometimes if his break gets cut short. Otherwise he is able to come home to eat lunch. Also sometimes we make it a lunch date if I am free. Cheap way to go on dates, rather than out on a weekend.[/quote]
