During lunch time at work its easier to just buy food then reheat food from home. But when I do enjoy cooking and could live without fast food, take out etc.

We eat out a lot. I have migraines daily right now, so its hard enough to take care of lo and keep the house in order, cooking is just not something I want to be doing. Plus, I'm often stuck at home all day so its nice to get out.

We really like to eat out, but mostly cook at home to save $$. It is a lot of work, but makes going out more of a treat!

We do really good during the week with eating at home/eating left overs for lunches. However once the weekend hits we always seem to eat out or pick up stuff. We go out to dinner with friends on weekends & I enjoy not having to cook on my days off!

We eat take out a lot...Maybe 2 (sometimes 3 if we're bad) times a week. Sunday, on our way home from church we'll pick something up and eat it at home. And then during the week we'll order a pizza or something. Other than that, we cook.

I try to cook once or twice a week, but it was hard as a SAHM and it's hard now as a WOHM! We all get home at 5:30 and RJ's got to eat right away because bedtime routine starts around 6:30. If we don't have leftovers or crock pot stuff ready to go, we warm him up fishsticks or something quick like that, and Rob Sr. and I eat take out a LOT. We used to go out to eat a lot, but ever since RJ was about 22 months it's gotten a lot harder to eat out... so we mostly get takeout now.

When friends come over we try to grill or some kind of cooking that we can both help with. Rob Sr. is great with the grill but helpless in the kitchen.

I think we eat out twice a week. Usually on the days that my husband doesn't have to work. We are very busy on those days and never stop to cook.

I think I could easily give up takeout, I would say we eat it about twice a week for dinner. I love cooking and really try to cook most nights. But we couldn't give up going out to eat, we enjoy it too much and its a social thing as well. We go out to dinner with friends all the time. As for lunches, I try to bring mine every day. Dh gets takeout every day, but it's paid for /catered by his company, so at least we're not paying for it. And its not like fast food (we never eat that stuff )- its like salads and wraps and things like that.

We try to limit fast food/eating out to 1-2 meals per week. We used to be really bad about eating take-out of eating out almost every day, but we have really cut back, and we are trying to cut back more in preparation to mat leave.

I really love to cook, & DH does his fair share too, but enjoy the social aspects of going out to eat. I know the savings & health benefits of eating at home are huge! As long as you aren't eating frozen pizza & TV dinners every night it is healthier anyways

we spent SO MUCH MONEY on food last year, that i'm trying to cook more. i think my only problem is, my hubby doesn't like to eat the same things over and over again, so i need to find stuff to cook! so that i can make things once or twice a month, each month! we've done so much better this month! i think we'll be spending at least $500 less this month than usual! woo hoo!

We did it - we ate at home S, M, T, W, Th! DH has to go to a game for work tonight so he will eat out, but I plan to dine in again. Then, we'll go out or get takeout Saturday night. Not bad!

We don't do much fast food, but I really do enjoy eating out at restaurants. We usually get breakfast on Sat or Sun and eat out dinner 2x a week.

Eating only home cooked meals is very admirable, but not something I want to try- especially now being at home with Cam all day, every day... getting out of the house is going to be a big reward for mama.

I love cooking, but about 2-3 times a months it's impossible to avoid takeout. Like last night, I hadn't been to the grocery store in a few days and had a late work meeting followed by a hair appointment, so by the time I got home it was too late to grocery shop and cook - so we ordered sushi!

Going out to eat used to be a once a week thing (saturdays) but now that we are homeowners we are cutting that out
