How many takeaways?!

I'm wondering if my husband and I are over indulging and it would be good to know if we are normal or not Grin

How many takeaways do you and your DP (not DC) have per week / month? 🤫

Probably one a week.

DontWiltMySpinachPlease · 11/02/2022 09:13

One every two weeks probably. Not Always a takeaway, sometimes we go out instead.

Chely · 11/02/2022 09:13

A once a month treat to give me a break from cooking.

SartresSoul · 11/02/2022 09:13

Once a month max, usually not even that tbh. Always feel underwhelmed by them.

HeyMicky · 11/02/2022 09:13

Less than once a month. Maybe every six weeks?

sunshineandrain82 · 11/02/2022 09:14

A ridiculous amount.
At its worse we eat out/takeaways 2 times a day

Right now we probably do takeaway 1-2 times a week.

But on top of that my oh brings McDonald's home at 10pm after his club 2 times a week as well.

Elsiebear90 · 11/02/2022 09:14

Usually 1-2 a week, sometimes more sometimes less, depends how busy we are.

BasiliskFace · 11/02/2022 09:15

Maybe one a month on average.

Forshorttheycallmecomp · 11/02/2022 09:16

About 4/5 times a year. We used to eat out once a fortnight or so but can no longer afford that,

Clutterbugsmum · 11/02/2022 09:17

One every month/6 weeks.
I’m too tight to spend 50% plus of our weekly shopping money on one meal.
That’s the joy of having 3 teenagers.

DrSbaitso · 11/02/2022 09:17

Once every couple of months. We had one for Chinese new year.

WhatHaveIFound · 11/02/2022 09:18

3-4 times a year is normal for us.

MrsSkylerWhite · 11/02/2022 09:18

Once a month if it coincides with adult children being here. If just the two of us, not at all.

Momijin · 11/02/2022 09:19

With my ex it used to be about 3 times a month. Now it is about 3 times a year. Aside from cost, it doesn't taste particularly nice. Greasy chinese and indian, inedible kebabs, extortionate pizzas. Greasy soft chips 🤮

If we lived somewhere that had tasty takeaways then it would be more.

Babadook76 · 11/02/2022 09:19

About once a fortnight

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 11/02/2022 09:19

Once a week, on a set day.

If we get back after a week away we always have one that night, and if one of us has a night out and the other stays home with the dc we order pizzas, but that's usually once every couple of months.

nordica · 11/02/2022 09:20

Probably averages out to about once a week, although sometimes I end up having three a week and then can go two months without any. It's a bad habit really (and not good for my weight or finances), often I find having one just makes me want another!

Winday · 11/02/2022 09:20

Too many, twice a week. I'm easily persuaded.

Amammai · 11/02/2022 09:20

Once per week. It’s our Friday night treat. We have two young children so we rarely eat out and they don’t have the take away so it costs around £20-25. Usually a Chinese or a curry. We eat with the children every other evening so it’s nice to eat just the two of us.

MissAmbrosia · 11/02/2022 09:21

Once a week normally. During lock down we normally had 2, to break up the monotony and to help support local places.

CJay81 · 11/02/2022 09:21

Was 2-3 times amount, now it'll be very rarely. Having to make a choice between that and heating now.

WreckTangled · 11/02/2022 09:21

Maybe a few times a year? It's worth saying that where we live we can't get anything delivered and it's a 15 minutes drive to collect anything so that probably makes a difference!

Laura0729 · 11/02/2022 09:21

Every Saturday without fail!

Sometimes a midweek chippy.
Sometimes a lunch take away such as Mc Donald's / Greggs.

So 1-3 times a week.
Before DS it was about 4 times a week.

When I was single it was most nights!

irregularegular · 11/02/2022 09:22

Every two or three weeks maybe? On Fridays when we don't have anything else planned we will often have a family film night and takeaway.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 11/02/2022 09:22

Every couple of months.
But DH weekly commutes so craving a home cooked meal by the weekends.
