Nowadays we have everything we want next to us.We have all kinds of shops and restaurants that offer us whatever we want.Do you prefer to prepare your food at home as long as you will know what have you made or you don't want to waste time and efforts for something you can order right away.

We usually cook @ home. I guess you could say that's the joys of having a family and being on a tight budget... money to do all the extras like eating out cause you don't feel like it is not there anymore. But once in a while we have the cash and that's when we'll go out.

It sounds exactly like my way of life. I love cooking but each person needs to g out sometimes. If we go to a restaurant every day it will not be that interesting for me. Now all the family is glad when we go to pizza let's say.

I prefer eating at home because I feel good. Restaurant is the last choice for me. I do not enjoy eating out and the food. Now a days I am forcefully enjoying outside food as there is no home, I am staying in hotel and have to eat at the restaurant. I requested the hotel manager and got microwave in the room and can make some thing for me when feeling hungry and do not want to go to the restaurant. Missing my home too much:(

I much prefer to cook at home for one it is more cheaper, and you can make whatever you want or however much you want, but it is nice to go out to eat at a restaraunt once in a while because cooking everyday just gets tiring sometimes but I really don't have the money to go out to eat anymore, so I try to cook at home as much as I can.

i think cooking at home is fun and economical. but sometimes, it is difficult for me to make somthing tasty or elaborate. it just takes a lot of time and the food ends up just a failure. So it all depends on what i am going to have. if it is easy to make, i do not spend unreasonable amount of money on what i can make with a small budget so i will just cook it and eat at home. but considering the efforts and the time you need to make it, if i find it too burdensome, i will just go to the restaurant.

It depends..If I have time then I'd prefer to prepare the food myself. If you cook a lot, soon you'll realize how easy it is to make your favorite food and all the other foods that your favorite restaurants offer. However, if you don't have that much time, then it's fine to just order it. But I still think that cooking your own food is better because you know how its made and it's clean.

We almost always eat at home. Sometimes if we are out we will get a sandwich and fries at Wendy's. We have been so unhappy with most of the restruants and the food that they serve that it is a big waste of money. So we eat at home, some times something extra special I will cook a roast beef and have all the trimings including homemade bread and a pie and sometimes just a simple meal consisting of breaded fish or chicken that I can warm up in the oven and serve with a salad and a vegetable, easy meal, no cooking really.

I want to cook at home, that way I can make sue what goes into my food. I can also make sure that things are very clean, in fact I don't really like to eat out at all anymore. So many in my family have food allergies taht I need to take a written list with me to order dinner out. It's so surprising how many things have celery or peanuts, in them and often the wait staff doesn't even know.

I prefer cooking at home.Homemade foods are best for the health. Going to restaurants is a very occasional incident for. I prefer going to the restaurants when I get a holiday or in a no mood to cook. I like cooking and I prefer washing the vegetables thoroughly.I am quiet aware about the kitchen cleanliness,and I always become mad when things are not done properly.I am quiet fishy about the cleanliness,that is maintained in the restaurants.

If only I am good in cooking, I would prefer having it prepared on my own, but since I have no talent in cooking, I would go for a resto though at times you are not sure how did they prepare the food. Was it clean, fresh or newly cooked? Saw this episode in Maury exposing how they prepare foods in a resto and it's so yakee! eeewww.. Some spit on them, just touches the food after fixing the trash, others would not bother to wash the vegetables and even the meat. Though the foods taste so good still you're not sure what's in it..

I'm a vegan that tolerates seafood, (yes people there are different types of vegans lol), and in hawaii it's hard to find good restaurants that offers a vegan menu since we are based around pork, meat, and chicken. So I prefer cooking over eating out unless I head out for sushi :)
