How many meals a week do you eat out?

Probably once every other week, although sometimes couple times a week. Wife will go out for lunch couple times a week. I bring food to work every day and like it that way.

 

Foodsby, baby. Ordered through it today for delivery at the office. For the record, I'm counting anything I don't personally prepare as eating out.

 

5 days a week for lunch ... just me.
Every other weekend Saturday night or Sunday lunch with the family.

I eat out for lunch almost everyday, it's one of my few extras.

 

I eat out pretty much all the time (don't really eat breakfast). If you're single and you eat out sensibly, and don't buy food at the grocery store that you don't eat, then I've found eating out isn't really any more expensive than cooking.

 

Two or three times a month. If that.

 

Huh? Do you eat at restaurants and not leave a tip? Not sure how it's possible to eat out and have it cheaper than the grocery store, unless you're saying eat at McDonalds or Taco Bell vs groceries at Whole Foods.

 

That's the one thing that changed with my second career. I used to eat out maybe twice a day, even it was quickie, convenience-store stuff.

Now, I usually don't eat a full meal until I get home for supper. I go for a drive on my lunch break and just grab a snack from the food pantry at work. There are plenty of good food-truck/restaurant options within a walk of work, but I'd rather just roll the windows down and unwind for an hour.

It may not be the healthiest option, but supper sure tastes good at the end of the day.

Might have spent $100 a week before. It's more like $40 now, which usually includes a good meal on Friday or Saturday.

 

I eat lunch out every work day, but that's because I'm on a campus, and faculty/staff can eat there for about $3. That just comes out of my check, so I never have to pay cash. And the kids like coming to campus for dinner, so we do that once a week or so. And then we'll go out for a real dinner usually once a week. Mrs. Flip Wilson is a chef, so we eat well when we eat at home.

 

We probably average twice a month, and that's either our Mexican place or our pizza place. With kids 8 and 3, fast sit-down is always preferred. My wife and I eat date-night dinner out about once per quarter, and she always wants to come home basically as soon as the meal is over.

 

Once a week we eat dinner out. Maybe twice. And often on Friday nights we'll do take-out pizza from our local (very good) joint. Otherwise, Alice and I both enjoy cooking and even food shopping, so we eat in.
