Aibu To think one takeaway every saturday is normal and what the average British family does.

[carolmwatt]

So my sister was surprised that we eat fast food/takeaway once a week every friday. We usually have fish and chips, dominos, Mcdonalds or KFC, the dc usually have an chocolate bar or sweet item the same night. None of us are overweight and dc have very healthy diet during the week.

Aibu to think most families do this.

We don't. We have one maybe twice a year. Not judging you, but you did ask!

We don't. We'll have a take away once every couple of months.

I don't think it is unusual but we don't do it in our house.

Takeaways are not the healthiest choices and I prefer my own cooking.

Once a month or less often here.

I don't really see a problem with it but I don't think many families could afford takeaway once a week. We have one on each payday, which is twice a month - but there's just two of us so it's cheaper.

We did when i was growing up and i was a size 8 till i were 20! ( i had an accident and stopped being able to move much so i went up couple sizes from being unable to do anything).
I was always bought up everything in moderation. Some of my friends who were denied things have really struggled with their weight.

We usually have some sort of takeaway every few weeks but we don't have a regular routine.

Nope we don't. It's once a month at most. But could be a few months in between times. It's certainly not a regular thing here.

I have no idea whether it's "average" but we certainly do, and there wouldn't be a hundred takeaways within a three mile radius if it wasn't reasonably normal.

I fondly remember Friday fish suppers way back to the 1970s. We probably don't have a takeaway every week these days, but only because shop-bought pizzas have improved enormously and there's no good chippies rounf me.

We have takeaway once a month.

I wouldn't say once a week was normal, maybe once-twice a month.

We do.

Takeway...tbh we dont. Do others. I think we did it once

We had a takeaway pizza one night a week when I was a teenager.

But I didn't have one at all for years in my 20s.

Now it's maybe every few weeks.

I don't think many people do it every week as it's so expensive.

Maybe once every 3 months! I just find take aways too expensive and like it to be a treat. I love it when I tell the kids we're having pizza and they shout "Domino's" and I say "No an Aldi one...lol".

We do once a week but once dc are in bed. We have a family one about once a month or less.

We don't. My DDs have shop bought pizza a few times a month, McDonalds a couple of times a year, same for fish and chips. Never had KFC.

No idea whether we are more normal though!

About twice a month here. Sometimes more depending on mine and DH shifts and whether we can be arsed to cook.

Nope, I've never had one once a week.

We have a takeaway once a month if that. I love to cook so Saturday night is usually my chance to make something adventurous.

Yes normal in this house. We tend to have a Chinese once a week, try to have dominos less regularly as we love it and pig out. Usually only the 2 of us having takeaway , the kids will eat tea earlier.

We aren't overweight, everything in moderation and we exercise 4 times a week.

We don't have it regularly, maybe once a month. Too expensive! We tend to make our own versions at home. When I was growing up we maybe had fish and chips once every couple of weeks, and I think my parents maybe had an Indian takeaway every couple of weeks. I don't think it's abnormal to have it weekly, we just choose to spend our money on other things.

Couldn't afford it every week, probably once a month.

It's too much I think but yes I think it's very common.

Once a month here.
