People that eat takeaways

We save a lot of money if we prepare our own food rather than relying on takeaways. But some people are too busy to even prepare their meals so preferred the easy way out to buy takeaways.

This is what we call here in the Philippines as takeout food. Maybe, because we are in a rush and we do not have enough time to prepare for a decent meal that is why takeouts are the best handy thing there is for a hungry stomach. Besides, the price of takeout food is no difference from the price when we eat them right there in the resto where we buy it. We don not pay extra for takeouts and we do not often do that. It is either, we eat at the resto, unless we are having a long trip and we do not want any delays. So we takeout food and eat them in the car while we continue our way. Takeouts/takeaways are for convenience. Nothing else. And in order to get a little convenience from time to time, we have no choice but to pay its price.

Well for many people it often boils down to time, or lack of, so for many people the quickest thing is to just go thru the drive thru of a Fast Food joint like McDonalds or such and get something quick to eat instead of making sure you bring something to eat with you that you might be able to heat up later in the microwave as well. If they are single and working more than one job, they might find this just easier for sure. It would be easier buying in bulk to have leftovers for a bit, or making food and having left overs but it all depends on time.

Hi. joystick. In our home, we hardly eat out as much. If we do, it may be only once a month. Any food that we eat, we never throw it down the drain, whether it is take out, or food that we buy and cook out of the grocery store.

Well I try to take my lunch everyday to work because it can be expensive to be eating out at the fast food places everyday, but once in a while if I don't feel like cooking I will order something from a fast food place. But not very often. I like microwave foods, my husband does not but then when there is nothing here to cook he asks me if we have anything for the microwave. Go figure?

I was a little bit confused at first because I thought that you were talking about leftovers when you go out to eat at first, however, it is clear to me now that you weren't talking about that. Our famiy will do carry-out from time to time when I don't feel like cooking. The thing that I don't like about it is that it is fairly expensive to dine this way. I think that the reason that most people depend on this is because of the fact that they don't have the time in their schedule to prepare a proper meal.

It's the convenience factor. of course if people wanted to they could find the time to go grocery shopping and cook (and pack lunches instead of going out for lunch) but it has to do with laziness. I had takeout on friday, while I took my lunch break at work. I don't mind spending money every once in a while on fast food or takeout - but I try not to do it every day - as it definitely adds up!
