Pre-Covid, and hopefully again, we usually average going out 1x/week and takeout 1x/a week. It’s an average because some weeks we might not go out at all and others we might go out twice.

Suburban parents of teens and this seems pretty similar to what most of our friends do as well.

We get takeout or eat in a restaurant (but during covid mostly takeout) 1-2 times a week, depending on what we have going on that week. Otherwise, we cook at home. I do most of the cooking, but my husband cooks a bit. He buys lunch at work; I usually take my lunch when I'm in the office.

We're empty nesters, so we eat out a bit more that we did when the kids were at home. I preferred serving them home-cooked meals as much as possible.

I eat all my lunches out at restaurants at work (several comped by my job, work travel, etc)
We order in dinner at least 1-2 meals a week
At least one dinner a weekend out dinner at a restaurant with friends.
I (female) never cook. As in never. Don’t know my way around the kitchen. My husband does all the cooking, it’s like a hobby for him. He makes homemade pasta, pasta sauce, all sorts of strange recipes. Not sure he saves us any money by cooking at home since he loves experimenting and shops at the gourmet local shop.

FWIW - I grew up in an immigrant household, where my mom cooked all meals (badly). I have an aversion to the kitchen since I was young.


You also probably have a housekeeper to clean up his mess.

We eat out or do carry out about once a week. Nobody has the energy to cook every night.

I have noticed that people who mostly eat at home and cook a lot are immigrants (most of the time).
It is very rare for Americans to cook many meals. At least that’s my experience. I mean cooking from scratch of course.


What?

A couple times a week. I have a busy teenager and it's something we enjoy.

Once or twice a week we do take out or go out. I cook, but it's nice to have a break some days.
