We usually eat out lunch on the weekends. And lately we've been ordering food once during the week (usually Japanese). I would order Korean if only there were a Korean restaurant near us!
Ordering food is sooo much easier. We don't have to shop, cook or do (as many) dishes, and there's always food left over for lunch the next day. But when we cook we're using higher quality ingredients and it costs less.
How often do you eat out?

Usually just once a week and it typically is on the weekend. Mama needs a break once in awhile from the kitchen!

Sometimes on the weekend. Sometimes not. Been cooking a lot recently so there's always something to eat at home.

Always a weekend breakfast, always dinner on my full work day (one day a week), and usually a quick dinner or take out one other night.
Lunches are random and just depend on day to day activities that we are up to.

More than we probably should. DH works 12 hour shifts, and I pack him a lunch, but he usually eats one meal a shift out. He gets them expensed though (but nothing if he brings both meals) which is how that ends up being OK.
We eat lunch out together usually once on the weekend and sometimes one take out/restaurant dinner a week. Sometimes two if it's a particularly busy week or friends want to meet up.
I'll pick up a lunch at a coffee shop if I'm out and about with the baby and she falls asleep while we're out maybe a couple times a week.

One or two lunches on the weekend. I usually eat lunch on Fridays in the cafeteria. We try and cook every night, especially since DH eats out all week since traveling.

When we lived in the city, we'd order takeout one day during the week and then do a meal out on the weekend. Since moving to the suburbs and being a SAHM, we very rarely order but that's maInly due to the lack if good takeout places...the closest chipotle is 20 min away. Gimme a break - we had one a block away at our old place.

Right now, it's about twice a month. And I go out to lunch with coworkers a couple times a month.
I cook things in batches so it makes eating at home quick and easy for us. And I'm really buckling down on eating healthy so I can go out more when the weather is nice

Usually lunch twice a week, on my husband's days off. We always try to find new places and will travel for something 'good'. It's our family time since LO goes to bed fairly early, lunch out is much more enjoyable...I love it!
We usually order dinner in 3-4x a month as well.
This will all change come Monday when I go back to work, I am going to try really hard not to get takeout all the time!

Way too often since we had a kid. I'd love to cut back, but I'm still too lazy at this point. This is one of those things I take into consideration when I think about staying home instead of working. I know we'd save so much money from me having the time to handle all of our meals.

A lot on the weekends, because I don't like having to wash dishes for 3 meals a day all weekend. (No dishwasher)

Probably too much. Almost always on Saturday nights. Most Thursday nights and often once more at some point either takeout or a lunch on the weekends. My husband eats out for lunch occasionally too although I rarely do.

Usually 1-2 per week. Usually on the weekends. We're ordering out tonight! I've been cooking all week and I'm tired!

Once or twice a week. It's hard to pack food on the go on the weekends when we're out running errands.

Now that LO is here, we never eat out! He's 8 weeks old and I don't think we've gotten take out yet.

We usually eat out once a week on the weekend and get delivery once a week on a weeknight.

5-6 nights a week for dinner
1-2 mornings for weekend breakfast
4-5 days for lunch
I barely cook anymore. I'm the only one that does and my husband is unhelpful with dishes and what he eats always changes. So now I buy food to go all the time.

Way too often!! I'm better about bringing lunch or buying lunch that can be eaten again another day, but the hubby eats out for every meal 7 days a week unless I cook. Then he'll eat dinner at home that night, but he won't eat leftovers.

About once or twice a week! We haven't gone out in months though due to illness. We went out the other night and it was so weird! I didn't like the food, was embarrassed by the kids being so loud (even though it was a family restaurant)... So strange!

I never eat out any more. I'm too paranoid about hidden dairy and soy. But my husband eats lunch in his cafeteria at work or out pretty much every day.
GOLD / watermelon / 14076 posts
Not for breakfast or lunch during the week. Maybe once for dinner during the week. We eat out most meals other than breakfast on the weekend.
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
Lunches - 1-2x a week (3-4 for DH)
Dinner - maybe 1x a week...sometimes none at all

Prob 1-2 times a week, sometimes more, sometimes less. It all depends on our schedules, or sometimes we're so busy we don't have time to grocery shop lol.

We eat dinner at our church every Wednesday night. Otherwise it is about twice a month for dinner. DH and I each have a weekly allowance to be used for lunches so those vary.

We go out to dinner most every Saturday. Then we'll usually get take-out 1-2 other times during the week.

@lawbee11: we're the same. We like to go out on weekends.

I try to always cook during the week and we usually eat out on the weekends.
