I feel like this is a 'grass is greener on the other side' type of question. Feel free to expand on the times you eat out, the preferred amount, reason below if you want. As for me, it depends on the week but in general, I would like to eat out more. I eat out once or twice a week max. Ideally I would like to eat out three, maybe even four times because I'm lazy to hunt/gather/cook/clean and really would like to try new places out there.
-
The same? We eat out frequently and that's ok with this tired picky eater pregnant lady.
-
@MrsH: You can't vote the same!
Nah, it's ok, you're allowed because you are pregnant!! But if you had to pick one...
-
More!! We're saving for a house and have significantly cut down on eating out.
-
I would like to eat out more but not pay for it
. We've been trying to save, so not as many meals out!
-
@808love: yeah, sorry I don't want to eat out less because that means I'd have to cook more and I'm too tired and I don't think it would be physically possible for us to eat out more. Before pregnancy I cooked a lot more so I guess eventually I want to eat out less.
-
Right now, it's been less. Things have been busy this week, so it's verging on the more side.
-
We eat "out" about three times per week (usually we each go out for lunch one day or pick something up; we go out to dinner once; and we pick up dinner another night).
I would like to eat out more. Mostly because I'm lazy and hating cooking and I have horrible taste in food and would much rather pick up something delicious like chipotle or pei wei or canes for dinner most nights rather than cook something healthy(ish) at home.
But we don't because 1) I don't want to be 400 lbs and 2) that would be expensive.
-
@Mae: This is totally off-topic, but is your SN your due date month?
-
At first I read this as a dirty question. Ooops!
-
@MsLipGloss: lol it actually IS which is a happy coincidence. But mostly I picked the sn because it's my grandma's middle name and was always my fav baby name-- but DH hates it and also it sounds silly with our last name so I figured at least I could get to use it here
-
@Mae:
-
Less because we spend too much on it!!
But really... more
haha I voted less because I'm trying to be responsible!
-
@MrsH: Yes! I agree-was so tired that last trimester I don't think I even kept track how many times I ate out.
@Mae: LOL @ your reasons why not!
@maybebaby: @MrsF: I hear you on wanting to spend less on eating out!! -
@Mrs. Champagne: Yah!! I know what you mean. I want it to be less but really I'm more.
-
I would love to eat out more often because I love yummy food. I'm also not a fan of cooking and cleaning up in the kitchen. Of course I would also like to eat out less often because it's better for the bank account.
-
I would love to eat out more cause I love good food if it wasn't so unhealthy and didn't cost so much. But... since it is and does, I would prefer to eat out less. ... but in reality, we practically never eat out at all, so we couldn't eat out any less even if we wanted!
-
It depends. Is money an issue in this scenario?? Of course I'd love to eat out more and try new places and cuisines... As long as money weren't accounted for haha!
-
About the same. Usually once a week is fine by me...except I usually eat crappy when I'm out so I'd rather eat at home.
-
Fine dining more...fast food less!
-
I wish that we ate out more.
I love eating out... because I hate doing dishes.But we can't really afford to eat out right now, so we go maybe once a month. That's it!! We don't even get takeout.
-
Hmm, our area doesn't have many great restaurants so we don't eat out too often. But if there was better food around, or if I was living in NYC again, i would totally wanna eat out
All
The time! -
Probably eat out more but it's not in the budget. We only allot $75/mo for eating out and that includes things like buying coffee... So that is maybe twice a month? And we usually go to the same places, nothing fancy. We have a local Firestone pizzeria we love and we go there about once a month.
It'd be nice to not have to cook so much! It takes so much time, but saves money.
-
Definitely more! I enjoy trying new things and I don't have the time or drive to try to make it myself. And the idea of no dishes is awesome :). Money wise, though, I really need to eat out less.
-
More. Way more. We don't have the budget to go out at all though.
-
More! We hardly eat out since our LO goes to bed so early so it's a treat when we do.
-
Considering our LO isn't here yet I think we should go out to eat more. We usually do maybe once every other month? It's so nice when we do though, next time will be end of September for our anniversary.
-
Eat out less. We eat lunch out together almost every day and we go out for dinner 1-3 times a week. I want to save some of that money.
-
Eat out at restaurants? We only eat at home on the weekends, during the week, we have dinner at my parents house.
-
Less. I used to cook more until I got pregnant and now I'm just so tired all the time. Now I only cook maybe once a week.... And I make all of los and my breakfasts and lunches at home. I miss home cooked dinner though.
-
More, if you include takeout. We already eat out several times a week, but I do wish we did it more because cooking is so tiresome, and my picky hubs only likes a limited variety of things. Only reason I insist on eating at home sometimes is for health reasons.
-
The same. But I chose "eat out more" in the poll. I love cooking and prefer home cooked meals so we eat at home waaaay more than eating out. But I enjoy the experience of going out to eat, it's a treat.
-
We go out to eat 1-2x a week (on weekends) and I wish we ate out less - mainly for money reasons.
-
About the same. I would love to go out to dinner verses take out but LO has decided that isn't happening for us
-
We always eat at home and I'd love to be able to budget 1-2 nights/week to go somewhere nice.
-
I would love love love to go out more, try new places, etc.
But DH is a 'eat to live' not 'live to ear' type of person so we don't go out nearly as often as I would prefer. He just doesn't care about food like that.
-
More! I love going out to eat, but we don't have a lot of great restaurants...plus it's only in the budget to go out or get takeout a couple times a month.
-
We don't even eat out that much maybe 1-2 times a week but I picked eat out less. I just wish I had the energy to always cook for myself as its so much healthier but when DH is gone sometimes it's just easier to grab a some fast food after work.
-
70% of our meals are take out. Even breakfast on the weekend. Itslike we have a standing IHOP To Go reservation. We waste so much money on food. Last Sunday Maggiano's to go was $55 and that's one meal of pasta. We would be rich, RICH I tell you if we ate out only 30% of the time.
-
We usually go out once or twice during the weekends (brunch or dinner) and I cook the rest of the time. I wouldn't mind an occasional weeknight dinner out.
Nah, it's ok, you're allowed because you are pregnant!! But if you had to pick one...
. We've been trying to save, so not as many meals out!
