Anyone else still get a takeaway most Friday evenings

😂

oh we love a takeaway in this house, not every week though, maybe once a month as a payday treat or every now and then if meal plans fail.

We have been making more 'fakeaway' dishes, we've bought some of The Spicery legend kits. We have the Curry, Taco and Noodle ones and we've had so many nice meals using the recipes and spices, highly recommend them for those people trying to recreate takeaway meals at home.

Fortnightly here, and we do it Thursday night so it feels like the beginning of the weekend! 😂

No just because it's too unhealthy for weekly, it always makes me feel a bit bleurgh after. So, sort of one a month!

Sadly not.

Friday's is our busy evening of various comings and goings, and everyone has some variation of a ready meal. I've got a frozen lasagne, which I have to bolt down in between activities. Everyone is home by 8:45 and then we'll catch up on The Traitors.

i hardly ever get a take away these days. I used regularly get one on a Friday and even sometimes on a Saturday but I rarely get one these days partly because of the cost ,partly because the quality just doesn't seem to be as good as it used to be and partly because I'm trying to lose weight and always chose unhealthy options. I tell myself I'm doing it for the health reasons but I think mostly it's because I really begrudge the price.

We used to get a takeaway every Friday but havent now for years, except the occasional fish and chips. The quality has gone downhill but prices have increased. £25 for 2 pizzas or £40 for a takeaway curry is not worth it imo.

We always have an Indian takeaway on a Saturday night. If we don't it means we're out usually eating something else.
Even when we were working we didn't have one on a Friday, go figure! I think it started when we were returning from a Saturday football match.
As others have said it's about balance (both health and money) We cook healthy meals from scratch every other night.

Yip! And usually go for dinner on a Wednesday to break the week up 😂

Too expensive for every week now. Ours is about £40 for just DH and I, £50 with the twins as well, and it most often feels not worth it at all. I'd say we are once a month.

It’s just very expensive, and the food isn’t often that nice. The couple of times we’ve done it, it arrives cold. I suppose it depends what you call a takeaway, though. Fish and chips on the beach at the seaside is lovely.

Not for 20 odd years. We don’t have any takeaways nearby.

Yes, we do - every Friday without fail. I really look forward to it at the end of the week. Think we’ll opt for a Chinese tonight…

Nope! I much prefer going to waitrose and buying £30 worth of bits for a nice meal, takeaways are so small and greasy and expensive now. Much better to have a wander around and buy some nice treats.

We used to but stopped for a bit as I was on a holiday diet. Now whenever we get a takeaway I find I feel awful afterwards, almost like I have a hangover. So now we only really get one on special occasions.

I wish DH liked sushi as would happy get sushi delivered every weekend.

Never have. But we eat out once a week

TBH telling them the budget is just so large it can't be added up is unlikely to make the situation any better.

No, it's too expensive and since peri hit I'd honestly be 3 stone overweight if I had a takeaway every week. We do buy food as a convenience but it tends to be when we're out anyway and we go for cheaper options with some veg included.

No, we haven't had a regular Friday takeaway in absolutely ages, not in this current century, in fact! We used to, but as it was mainly driven by our DC, (who still loves takeaways), we stopped the regular Friday takeouts when DC left home in 1999.

These days DH and I have a takeaway quite rarely, maybe two or three times a year at home and once or twice a year a year when on holiday.

Sadly no maybe once every three or four months

There’s four of us in our house. Everytime we decide to have a takeaway there’s a long debate about what to have. One can’t eat Chinese, one hates Indian food, another isn’t a fan of chippy. We go round in circles for an hour. Someone goes off in a strop. I cook pasta lol!

Dh and ds will order on most Saturdays,
they are out most of the day both playing and then watching football and often get back just in time to watch an evening game on telly 😂
I usually make my main meal of Saturday at lunchtime and then just have a salad or something else quick and easy for dinner - always veggie. I do eat meat but am shit at cooking it. When they get back they’ll order something because they won’t want what I’ve cooked and they quite enjoy their boys day finished off with a takeaway by the fire watching the footy.
I’ve taken part in maybe 3 takeaways in the last 15 months or so since I’ve been on MJ, enjoyed them all immensely.

If there was more choice around here I'm sure I would!

@GasPanic there will always be people who call things “obscene” without thinking through context and consequence. If you spent that and 90% was binned then that might have raised an eyebrow. I find it best just not to add these things up 🤣

We get one on valentines, birthdays and anniversaries. Sorry!
