How many take aways is too many?

Or neither. It is actually possible to have regular takeaways and be neither overweight nor destitute.

We usually eat out once a week. Occasionally, instead of eating out, we may have a takeaway.

We have fish and chips maybe 3 times a year and will eat it at the beach.

None of our local takeaways are very good, it's really expensive for doughy pizza or brown unspecified curry.

I visit friends who have great takeaway options, we'd probably have one a fortnight if they were any good.

We eat out a lot....

This is hilarious 😂

Once a month would be average.

That's because the village Indian Takeout is fantastic and it's very hard to resist and a good pizza is well....just a basic human right on occasion.

We are not moving ever while it's there.

Can't fathom multiple times a week though and not even from a cost perspective.

Can't remember when I last had a McDonalds and have no desire to have one.

Just couldn't really feel great about eating so much unhealthy food and much prefer to cook healthy meals at home the majority of the time.

Love a takeaway but can't justify cost, so it's become a special occasion thing, so have a Chinese in a few weeks for a birthday.

Omg ours does that! 🤣
Tbf we live in a small place and they don't deliver outside of here so they won't actually be delivering to that many people so are more likely to remember the people they do.... thats what I tell myself anyway!!!
We only have takeaway around once every 3 weeks or so.. but we always use the same takeaway.
Once I had some people staying and ended up getting takeaway from this takeaway 3 nights running... I was pretty embarrassed as it was the same delivery guy who greted me like a friend!!

Me and mum have takeaway Mondays and Fridays. There were two occasions in the past year where a second takeaway turned up later on that we definitely didn’t order 😳

I've had maybe 4 all year!!

My partner had that when he ordered for at his sister's house

I've never had one delivered and probably had one about a year ago. Take aways are overpriced junk food which I appreciate makes me sound sanctimonious, but it's the truth.

OK for a very occasional treat, but not acceptable on a regular basis

Wow. Rarely. Once every 6 months maybe? And usually because family are staying and it’s their preference (they live in another country and miss fish and chips, Chinese etc)

Let me guess, you're poor and bitter.

Yep he has added the McCrispy now McDonald's do Chicken burgers. He's doing so well with the new therapist, thanks for remembering.

😂😂 I got one once from the owner of the local bakery!

Probably once a month if that. I used to get a chinese at least twice or three times a month but I've gone off it now. It seems so heavy and greasy, I end up feeling like shit after

One time my partner asked me what I wanted and then said "you don't normally order that." Which was fine until he rang in the order and the guy at the other end said "you don't normally order that!"

Also one time we were at a friends' and ordered takeaway for delivery. Opened the door and the guy said to me, "Did you move house?" 😂

We used to have a Friday takeaway as a habbit...then I noticed on sat/sun my kids could wrangle DH into getting mcdonalds.....then if we went out and about there might be a meal out or junk food at soft play etc. So I've said no takeaways now. Too expensive and unhealthy....but that way when we do eat it it's not one of many....I'm queen of the fakeaway now....the delivery drivers weren't friendly with us...but the kid next door commented on all our deliveries so I think that counts lol

But Friday used to feel like a night off cooking for me (no1 else does it) so even though it's healthier for me and everyone, I do still feel a bit like I've cut off my nose to spite my face

We usually have one a week. Sometimes we go out for dinner, maybe twice a month. I do the majority of the cooking at home and I get fed up with it, do we break it up with take away/restaurant meal.

Ours doesn't cost nearly this much.

Honestly I love cooking, and would use them less if it wasn't for convenience. I'm in a time of life where I'm a single parent, caring for a terminally ill DM, working full time in a stressful senior role, and to me it's worth it even if I could whip something better up myself.

I never ever seem to get the same delivery man. I'd get quite excited if we remembered eachother! Very occasionally I order deliveroo about four times in a week, if I'm very unwell and have money. Usually that would be a couple of grocery deliveries and couple takeaways. I always make the food last two meals to try and justify it!
Normal would be once a month max though.

No, it's from a local Hotel and the toast is always still hot when it arrives apparently, I don't eat them it's OH

Ouch....this is mean

So rude

On average about once a month. It varies between Indian, Chinese, Thai, Fish & chips or really good sourdough pizza.
