takeout, fast food, eating out, etc?
DH and I used to give up all sorts of eating out (unless it was a friend/family event we couldn't get out of) for Lent every year.
So we've gone 40 days+ in our longest break from non-homecooking.
How long could you last? How often do you eat out/take out?

That's really impressive! Probably 3-4 days would be my longest run. I love store bought Rotisserie chicken so I don't think I can go that long without fast food, premade meals. I have never tried making a rotisserie chicken but if push comes to shove, I will attempt it.

I could go a month without eating out if not longer. DH could not, he eats out 1-2x a week for lunch. As long as I have plenty of food from grocery shopping and leftover options I'm good to go.

We actually don't eat out or do take out very often. This past crazy week says otherwise, but, really, meh.

LO hasn't arrived yet, so we only order in/eat out when I need a break from cooking, and that ends up being every 2-3 weeks. But when the baby's born, I imagine it'll be a lot more often than that!

I couldn't last very long. DH could probably go forever. He hates buying food, more so for financial reasons. If it were up to me though, we would get take out at least once a week.
I eat out a few times a month. I love my big macs.

Not long! I mean, obviously if I HAD to I could last indefinitely....but I love going out to eat, and prefer to eat outside the home about once a week

A really, really long time. We hardly ever get takeout or eat out, unless it's with friends and that's maybe once every few months.

We go out about once a week, but if I wanted to avoid it I think we could go a month ish.....
With three kids it is easier and cheaper to stay in!

Not long at all. Maybe a week max? I don't really enjoy cooking and I think I'd get really bored eating every meal at home. I love going out to eat as a family on the weekend.

I went 6 months once. That wasn't actually on purpose, I was poor and DH and I were broken up lol i still usually only eat out once a month-ish. DH on the other hand goes way too much...I think he's been 4 times this week

Erm a few days. It is terrible. I really want to make a decision to go at least a month without takeout.
