We have had 5 takeaways in 5 years and there's been a reason for all of them eg the night the house got burgled!

Pizza & Wagamama would be my fave.

wildcherries · 05/10/2020 17:23

Once or twice a week most times. I budget for it specifically.

User4647 · 05/10/2020 17:23

I buy a sandwich in a shop usually once a week. Takeaway though usually once a month.

User4647 · 05/10/2020 17:24

Favourite is probably pizza followed by Chinese then fish and chips.

wildcherries · 05/10/2020 17:24

Oh, and: Thai, Indian and Pizza.

TimInRuislip · 05/10/2020 17:25

Once a week, maybe twice depending on what we have on.
My favourites are:

  1. chippy tea
  2. Indian
  3. pizza
Collidascope · 05/10/2020 17:25

Once, sometimes twice a week.

YellowandGreenToBeSeen · 05/10/2020 17:25

Looking at my Deliveroo app, 3 times this year. Pretty standard for me and always Japanese / sushi. I would cook an Indian, Chinese or Italian if I wanted it.

ComicePear · 05/10/2020 17:25

About once every 2 months.

  1. Fish and chips
  2. Pizza
  3. Chinese
megletthesecond · 05/10/2020 17:26

Never. DS has allergies and I can't eat gluten.

SallySeven · 05/10/2020 17:26

The choices are dire here and v expensive so I keep saying never again!

Danni91 · 05/10/2020 17:27

One a week at minimum.
Its pure laziness though. And usually chinese!

  1. chinese
  2. A local place that makes the best fajitas and burgers
  3. indian food but its so expensive we only do this a few times a year!

Before Covid maybe once a month - Indian. We have lots of takeaways here, but this one Indian Place is the only nice one

If I could get Greek or Thai here, it could be an entirely story!!

megletthesecond · 05/10/2020 17:28

Oh I tell a lie. I've started getting the DC's the odd Nandos as they're really good for allergies and don't use ingredients he can't eat.

Also get a subway or something for lunch once a week

BoudiccasBoudoir · 05/10/2020 17:41

We either eat out or takeaway about once a week, then there's usually one other time month where we have no food in/ I'm tired or hormonal/ kids are being impossible. Needs to be less, can't really afford it, and my kids are fussy so it's not even that exciting.

  1. Chippy. Usually fish and chips.
  2. Pizza. A chain like dominos or Pizza Hut or the cheapo chicken shop and pizza places we have lots of nearby.
  3. Chinese.

Basically we go for the fried foods we don't have means to make at home. I've considered just buying a deep fat fryer though. Would save a lot of money but not sure I'm that committed to my overweight figure. I can't work out whether to give up takeaways or learn to do really amazing takeaways or what?

mamapants · 05/10/2020 17:42

Surprised people get once or twice a week must get very expensive.
We have had about 4 times since March.
We only have chippy, Indian and Chinese where I live.

CatsArePeopleToo · 05/10/2020 17:42

About once a week, maybe every two weeks. Brilliant Asian fusion takeaway here. They do Chinese, Thai, Korean, Malaysian, something else. Maybe not exactly authentic but always delicious.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 05/10/2020 17:42

Once a week. Sometimes less frequently

  1. Indians (but only if it's thur/sun when the deals on)
  2. Chinese
  3. Pizza/kebab
Someone1987 · 05/10/2020 17:43

One or two a week every week (sometimes three).
Chinese or Kebab place (burger/pizza/chips)

Dillo10 · 05/10/2020 17:43

Probably once a month -

Fish and Chips
Chinese
Indian

We are very into cooking at home and we also prefer to eat out rather than get takeaways

theemmadilemma · 05/10/2020 17:44

About once a week currently, if not twice often.

Sometimes we get a Maccy delivery for lunch.

We're moving soon though and there's not much that delivers there so we're currently abusing it while we can. I would stick at about once a week so we get a night off cooking.
