Neighbours

[Takeaway2021]

My next door neighbours have takeaway every night, they have just had pizza delivered. They also have a Morrisons delivery once per week. I WFH so see them being delivered, we never have takeaway food. I sometimes think why not just cook and how unhealthy it must be, they are all obese, even the children. But I also think ooh I'd like a pizza etc. Anyway, my questions are am I missing out and how many times a week to people normally get takeaway/food deliveries?

Well here it’s about twice a year, but pre Covid we did eat out a fair bit. I think some of it depends where you live, in all honesty the take out options here aren’t great. Also depends on circumstance, I really enjoy cooking, but for some it’s just a chore. I’m not a fan of cleaning so have a cleaner, guess it’s not that different. I try not to judge. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors? They may be struggling with disabilities that make cooking challenging, be caring for others, working long hours etc. I’m not saying there aren’t simple options that can be eaten in place of a takeaway, there are, but that’s not really anything to do with me.

Thanks, some interesting points. We had fish and chips about year ago and really enjoyed it. But cooking from scratch has always been in stilled in me and I enjoy it, as do my family. We did eat in restaurants about once per month pre-covid. Everyone is different and I appreciate that, just curious I guess.

We eat out maybe two or three times a week that's at sit in places though! During covid we had maybe two takeaways a week. Still do the full Waitrose shop though! I love to cook from scratch during the week, but view Friday and Saturday as the relaxing days so love to go out and eat lovely food. Our neighbours love a takeaway though! They seem to get maybe five a week made me feel smug on a Tuesday with my salmon, but come Friday night I'm the same haha.

I eat out every week. Never ever get take aways. I don't get online shops as I typically shop at Aldi!
