To ask how often you have a takeaway/eat out?

[Tatgalore]

Honestly?

I like to have a takeaway once a week but want to cut this back to save money/lose weight.

I'm thinking to try to cut back takeaways to once a month as a payday treat.

The savings would be a mortgage payment! Or a good chunk towards a holiday.

But it's so hard because come Friday I don't want to cook.

Takeaway - once in a blue moon, probably less than once a year.

Eating out - every couple of months

I prefer to spend more on food to cook at home.

I'd say that we eat out probably about 1-2 times a week, sometimes more depending on what's going on/if we are meeting friends etc. Takeways would be maybe once a month or so, we don't get them very often.

We'll eat out for dinner or have a take away once a week, usually have some kind of lunch out at the weekend at a cafe. We have relativley young kids so dinner tends to be of the Zizzi / Ask / curry type places rather than high end dining. Maybe once a month we'll have sunday lunch at a local pub too.

Takeaway probably once a week..eat out once a month or so (nice restaurant etc) and lunches around twice a month.

We don’t have any takeaways as none near us (we live in the sticks). I’d sometimes sell my soul for soecial fried rice. But no chance 😭
I have a pub lunch with friends once a fortnight at work.
With DH it is probably every other month that we eat out. We splash out when we do though on somewhere nice (usually £100+) on a nice lunch or dinner locally.

We do buy some takeaway style supermarket ready meals once a week though, usually costs only £10.

There's a basic tension in our house between DH who literally gets takeaway/eats out every single night if left on his own, and me who would prefer it to be a couple of times a month treat.

It ends up being once a week, sometimes more depending on what we do at the weekend.

I would say we have a takeaway about 4 - 6 times a year, and eat out once or twice a month. I've never been able to get my head round people (usually on those fat shaming shows) that have takeaways 2 or three times a week.

Takeaway once a week, Friday night. DH has a takeaway on a Wednesday as well when I'm at my evening class (he has to get 2 year old and baby to bed so i don't blame him!) Eat out maybe once a week. Takeaways and eating out are our only real extravagance, and i look forward to them hugely.

Once a week after school in a cafe.
We get a take away every Friday night when dd' s are in bed and we eat out as a family in a sat/sun.
I've joined sw so that's going to have to stop now 😬

On Fridays we have a roster of 'treat' minimal or no cook dinners - sharing nachos, or pitta chips and dips, baked camembert with bread and celery sticks, that kind of thing. I don't 'cook' on Fridays unless we have guests!

takeaways usually about twice a month, if we’re too tired to cook or as a payday treat.

Eating out usually a few times a year as treat for birthdays or if we’re going to see a film we make a day of it and have lunch afterwards. Also for birthdays treats altho a lot of the times birthday person wants something I cook. So it’s their decision.

Once a month after pay day for takeaway. Eating out probably once a month as well.

We used to eat out most weeks but rarely get takeaways. Now we only eat out on special occasions as we are trying to lose weight.

Takeaway normally on a Friday (or sometimes an m&s dine in for 2 offer). Eat out normally at least one day of the weekend, sometimes both

Once a month.

Takeaway maybe once every 4 months on average. We eat out maybe once a month as a couple, and I go out for lunch/coffee with my mum every fortnight or so as well.

Takeaway normally every Friday , I have breakfast or lunch out with friends twice a week whilst the children are at nursery/school. Eat out as a family either on a Saturday night or Sunday lunchtime. If it's an evening it will normally be a chain restaurant as there are always offers, Sunday lunch would be a country pub.

I live in a village and have to drive quite a way (well, 15m each way) to get one.

But I do like them so maybe once a month? I'm single and live alone so its not a huge cost, but that's not the main point for me, it's more about health.
I started a Friday f&c habit but I have knocked that on the head due to them being rubbish around here, so now I buy a box of frozen battered fish and oven chips in my usual shopping and make that my Friday treat, it costs about £1 and is not any worse in terms of quality.

I then also cook in bulk so I always have two types of curry in the freezer, and microwave rice - probably costs about £2 a meal, so far better value and I know what is in it. So, that is sometimes my weekend treat.

Then once every two weeks I buy a ready meal, which is more for variety than anything, so maybe a Thai curry etc, about £3 at Aldi.

So, with all that, I find I cannot replicate the Chinese take away (I don't like pizza, though I always keep one in the freezer for emergencies) so maybe have a Chinese once a month or on special occasions - night before holiday, birthday, new year (which I spend on my own with a Chinese crispy duck!). I can't actually remember when I last had one to be honest.

Takeaway Rarely.

I'd say once every 3 months.

But we do have a lunch out at a cyclists cafe may e once a week but it's in budget and we enjoy it.

When I was saving hard we just didn't eat out.

Never - hate them!

Take aways - once or twice a year

Eating out - haven't for years.

Takeaway about once every 6 weeks, eating out about 4-5 times a year.

Has changed massively since I loved out of London though, used to be eat out at least twice a week and takeaway at least once then.

Much healthier now!

Takeaway almost never.

Eating out maybe on our birthdays or if we are away for a weekend, and on the school gate mums' night out.

I have borderline ASD and definite severe anxiety in certain situations. Like eating with the people I’m staying with. And they won’t let me eat alone so I find myself out at the local Spoons every night almost. It’s bankrupting me :(
