How Often Do You Go Out To Eat?

I used to not go out to eat much, but in recent months I moved in with my parents and now I don't have the freedom to cook what I want to cook when I want to cook it, so I started eating out more. Plus, I work at a fast food restaurant, so that doesn't help with my eating out problem either. I would say that I eat out atleast one time a day. Most days it is due to the fact that I'm at work, so I guess that makes a bit of a difference as to why I eat out. How often do you eat out?

Hello singlemommy, i only eat outside or buy food from the fast food restaurant every Saturday or Sunday after watching movies. As much as possible i want to cook our own food because I am saving money for our vacation and cooking at home is more healthy than those food in the restaurant.

It's rare for me to eat anywhere but home. About twice a month I go to lunch with my stepmother and about every 6 weeks I go with my sister in law. If I eat at a typical fast food place like White Castle I don't feel so good and my digestion gets all greasy and upset. Plus, it's a lot cheaper to eat at home.

Nowadays, I can only afford to eat out for like 2-3 times a month. But in the past, I don't cook so most of the time, I eat out.

I eat out at least once a week. I'm a freelancer, so I cover events, which makes home eating difficult. It's either run home/eat/go out again and pay extra transit fare or stay there and eat out. I usually just stay. It's simply easier.

I'm wondering why you go out eat more now that you're with your parents. Isn't it even better because you've got home-cooked meals instead? I stay at my parents home with my siblings and there's home-cooked meal during meal time and I pack my lunch too, so I rarely go out to eat. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

I rarely eat at home. I work 2 different jobs and most days I work both of them. I don't necessarily eat fast food everyday, but I will sometimes grab something at the gas station. I usually end up bringing something from home to snack on while at the office. When I am working my other job I usually grab a soda in a small bag of chips. That is I have it that I am trying to get out of. My kids mostly eat at home because I am at work so much and they are stuck at home.

hi singlemommy.. For me, sometimes, we eat outside during weekends. When my daughter behaves in her class and excels in her school works and activities, I try to treat her with food. She loves french fries and slides so I usually bring her in the park during sundays. She makes me forget my problems so I really love to treat her outside whenever possible.

For the most part, I have to say that our family tends to eat out two or possibly three times a week depending on what kind of extracurricular activities that our children have going on. For the most part I cook Sunday through Thursday and our days of eating out are on the weekend because I like to have the break from cooking while my husband gets a break from him work and our children get a break from school. However there are times that I burn out on eating out and then we will go long periods of time without going out to eat.

These days its not really comfortable for me to eat outside because Im pretty tired after work, but me and my husband often call for food delivery. I also try to cook food during weekend and just froze it. so when we are hungry we can easily heat and eat it, I also make sure I put a lot of vegetables on those soups.

We eat out around 2 or 3 times a week some weeks. Other weeks it might be only once, it just depends on our mood at the time, financial situation, stuff like that. We seldom eat out more than 3 times a week, unless I'm not feeling well and hubby wants to treat me.

Almost never,unless I get fed up eating home made foods.And I seldom get fed up eating them.Sometimes I want to enjoy spicy foods and then visit to the roadside eateries about a kilometer away from my place.But that I do just for a change.Otherwise eating outside is a costly affair and I can't afford it.I have to sustain a family comprising of seven members.

Hi singlemommy, the there of us in the family have our hectic schedules to busy with daily. We will prepare one meal daily only. It's the dinner. My husband usually would buy us breakfast like fried noodles or coconut milk rice or curry noodles, etc after his morning walk together with his friends at the neighborhood. Occasionally we would prepare soft fried eggs with bread and coffee for breakfast He would buy us lunch sometimes. If not we usually will eat out Happy posting

I go out to eat when I have no idea what to cook. I have certain small retaurant where I always go when I don't cook at home, I love all the foods there and the price is cheap. I love cooking, but since I am still living alone sometimes I feel lazy to cook if it's only for me to eat.

I usually eat out when my office mates and I planned to eat out when our pay day is reaching. lol. Of course, all want to treat themselves from a 12 days of work and to reward ourselves. Those moments are only the time that I go out and eat, nothing else.I am away with my boyfriend and family right now so I am not be able to eat out with them.

since I live by myself, I always eat out. Cooking just for one is more expensive that eat out, especiallt beacuse I dont have the utility to save the food (such as refrigerator). I just have to pick the place I eat where will sell homy food on cheap price. And lucky me, there are many food shops like that near my place.
