Anyone else still get a takeaway most Friday evenings

[Statsquestion1]

Basically this, anyone else still get takeaway on a Friday evening after the long week? Getting a Chinese tonight. and I’m so excited.

No. I would find that very boring. A takeaway every Friday.

When it comes to eating out/not doing meals ourselves, we have a Chinese or Indian takeaway maybe every 2 months. We also go for pub lunches, and sometimes Maccies, Toby Carvery, Morrisons Cafe, posh restaurant, chip shop... we like to mix it up a bit.

I would find 52 Chinese or Indian takeaways a year (one every week) crushingly tedious and dull. It would feel like a chore eating it if I had it every Friday.

Oh we never have it delivered either. We live out in the sticks, and the food would very likely be cold by the time it gets to us. They take an HOUR to deliver to our village after you order it. (Even though it's only 4-5 miles!) We can ring our order through, to be ready in 20-25 minutes, and then drive to get it (takes 13-15 minutes to get back. So it's not freezing cold by the time we get it!) Plus, some places don't deliver to us anyway

Had maybe 3 takeaways in the last 18 months. Chinese is always a let down and I’m so thirsty in the night. Indian was slightly better but not worth the cost.

We are having ready made pizzas as a treat tonight - which in my mind counts!

I think it definitely depends on the area too.

I live in London and we're spoiled for choice when it comes to local restaurants.

The competition keeps the prices sensible too.

Well it varies between
thai
indian
chipper
chinese
mexican
pizza
smashburger place.

i said most Fridays…we eat out too. We had Italian last Sunday. Yummy 🤤

Can’t afford it.

Got a Chinese nye and it was over £80 for the 4 of us. One portion leftover. So takeaways are going to be limited for me! Rather eat out if that's the cost.

Never did.

Never saw the attraction really. Except for occasional fish and chips. If I am spending money for food cooked elsewhere I'd rather eat out.

But you enjoy your takeaway OP!

The handful of times we’ve had a takeaway I’ve been shocked at how expensive it is. I would far rather just cook something quick and easy.

No. we prefer the waitrose indian meal dinners...often on offer...4 items for £10, very nice.Last time I looked at a menu for take away it seemed expensive now. However now have two sets of new neighbours opposite...2 young couples who have breakfast lunch and dinner delivered...non stop bikes dropping off food..no idea what they do...never leave the house!

Maybe twice a year.
Too expensive and unhealthy.

No. We used to but we stopped being able to afford it some time ago. Now it's just occasionally.

no way.
££ and grim

I’m with my partner for over 5 years and we’ve never once had a takeaway, we eat out fairly often though.

About twice a year here if that.

No. I do eat out more than I used to though as I am always out and about and never fancy my homemade lunches.

If I do get a takeaway, it's got to be Thai/ Malay or something else I can't replicate at home.

Same. It's the salt, makes you really dehydrated.

Not in about 10 years 😬 but every couple of weeks I go to town on naice picnic things and chocolate from m&s. I think I’m in the minority but I don’t really get excited to eat and don’t really think about food.
doesn’t mean I’m healthier as I’m crap at meal planning and remembering to cook so end up eating cereal or protein bars way too often

Usually have one a week but we also have a lot of choice. Probably have one tomorrow night, not sure what though.

I’ve not had one ALL year 😇

We usually do but I've been having a lot of acid reflux so I'm going to give up dairy and spices (first) so I've bought a lovely Cook beef bourguignon for us tonight.
We will still have a film, though, and it's my turn to choose.

No. We had one on NYE (unusual) and will sometimes do birthdays.

We’re having fajitas tonight but made at home.
There are a couple of amazing takeaway places near us (S.London), but they are £££ so maybe only get one as a treat once a monthish.

Fair enough.

I totally get the excitement factor though OP, as I also get very excited by food.. especially if I haven’t had to cook it!

Chippy tea every friday in our house!
