How often do you eat out/get takeaways?

[Sweetdisposition91]

And how much would you say you on average spend on it in a month?

I’m currently trying to save and have tracked all my expenditures and I’m shocked to see that I’ve spent over £200 on eating out/takeaways this month - not including normal food shopping!

Want to see what the average is!

Take aways only happen when on holiday, so maybe twice a year.

Eating out in a pub/restaurant probably averages to once every couple of months.

I'd expect to spend about £60 on a restaurant meal and drinks, so I'd put my monthly spend at £30 - £35.

About the same as you on average.
Some months a lot more! May, with 2 bank holidays (we're away for both) and a birthday, it'll easy be double. Usually though, with no significant plans/birthdays, prob one takeaway a month (at most) and a couple lunches out and probably 150 in total.

Eat out around once every couple months,we are out for a date night at an Indian tonight for example.We'll spend around £60.Takeaways every week to week and a half,usually spend around £20 for me,Dh and ds 5

We probably get a chinese once a month and spend about £30 on it. We eat our once a month too and spend about £60. We might get the occasional Subway or Costa when out and about together too which probably adds up to £20 a month.

We eat out or get a takeaway at least once or twice a week. I'm guessing we spend at least £300 a month, maybe more like £400. It's one of my favourite things to do and we can afford it so I don't have any plans to change. I also enjoy cooking so cook from scratch most of the rest of the time.

Take away once a month, on payday usually. Spend about £20 ish.

Eat out very very rarely. I actually can't remember the last time. Maybe my birthday last year.

Have never had a takeaway due to allergies.

Eat out a couple of times a month. Probably spend around £100 month. Me and 2 dc's.

Takeaway maybe once a month, eat out 2 or three times a month.

Takeaways once a week. Eat out maybe once a month or every six weeks.

As for cost, I'd say we spend £70/80 a month on takeaways. Maybe the same on eating out? It would definitely be one of the first things we would cut out if we needed to save money.

Takeaway once a month. Eat out maybe twice a month. Total possibly £150 a month.

I should add that is just for myself, or if I’m treating my boyfriend! 🙈

Never have takeaways, eat out at least once or twice a week maybe more.

Oh the shame. Yes I have a fat ass.

Last month we spent just over £300 but it was a stressful month and was out of the ordinary. A normal month would probably be around £100 to £150 for me, DH and eldest DC. We've taken to ordering from a new takeaway that is amazing but is more expensive than our usual so going to have to cut back.

That was just takeaways, we eat out about once every 3 months, McDonald's probably 3 times a month with all the kids.

Twice a week we have takeaway atm. Trying to cut down to one. It used to be three or four so we are doing well. Sometimes we’ll eat out once instead.

Rarely because takeaways are without exception, rank.

We went for dinner a few weeks ago and with dinner in a nice but not amazing place, taxis and a few drinks after we spent £200. Childcare was even free. Bloody ridiculous waste of money.

About £250 on average. Take away once a week family dinner out about twice a month. Lunch out with a friend maybe once a month. It's the first thing to go if money is tight though.

£200 a month?!

are you working really long hours though? I haven't done this because I could never have afforded it, but when I was working 2 jobs, my flatmate - who also worked very long hours - always wanted to get takeout.

About once a week. Sometimes only once a month but other times three times a week. Depends on circumstances. But we almost never buy ready meals or take outs. It's usually sitting down in a restaurant. About once every three months we'll buy in fish and chips or a takeaway curry.

We rarely have a takeaway - maybe two or three times a year.We eat out more often - around once a month.

Takeaway once a month, lunch out twice a month. Prob adds up to £150/month.

We used to get pizza more often but now we use www.northerndoughco.com and I make it at home, everyone prefers it it to take out or any other frozen/bought pizza.

"Rarely because takeaways are without exception, rank"

Obviously you don't live in London 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

When I say takeout - I'm meaning Deliveroo from restaurants , not a kebab or pizza 🤣

Eat out about one a month- £45approx
Takeaway once a month-£20 approx
Somewhere like McDonald's twice a month £20approx.

Never have takeaways - don’t like them but out on average once during the week and always Sunday brunch at our local deli.
