I always class McDonald's kinda take away dufferent to say Chinese or Indian

But how many times a month would you say you have them? I'm wondering what the average is and if I have too many 😂😂

We probably get a takeaway every 8 weeks.

BonnieGlasses · 23/04/2023 18:19

I have one maybe every 2-3 months. Basically whenever my parents come to visit as they prefer takeaway to my cooking!

Ollifer · 23/04/2023 18:19

Around once a week /once every 10 days so 3 or 4 times a month. Sure you'll get loads of responses on here saying they get one every 4 years though 🤣

Plump82 · 23/04/2023 18:19

For a while it was most weekend but the takeaway's here are rubbish and I was fed up not enjoying it and paying a fortune. So now maybe once every 3 months if that? Think we've had 2 this year.

FlounderingFruitcake · 23/04/2023 18:20

Hardly ever as don’t really enjoy them but we eat out at restaurants at least 3-4 times a week so it’s no healthier!

APseudonymNeeded · 23/04/2023 18:20

Hardly ever. We had our first one of the year last week due to being stuck on the motorway and being too tired to bother to cook.

They are always expensive, calorific and -even worse-mildly disappointing tbh.

OhHeyBabe · 23/04/2023 18:20

Maybe once every 10 days so 3 a month on average?

KnickerlessParsons · 23/04/2023 18:22

Once or twice a year.

Blondey2023 · 23/04/2023 18:25

Twice or three times a week 🙊

YouNeverCanTellWithBees · 23/04/2023 18:25

Maybe once a month/6 weeks. Would get more often but I'm coeliac and can't get anything delivered round here so it needs a car journey to pick it up.

HappyEm81 · 23/04/2023 18:28

We never get takeaways. It wouldn't cross our mind to consider getting one, but we do love going out and probably go out for a meal and drinks around 3 times a month.

DancingWithTheMoonlitKnight · 23/04/2023 18:30

Couple of times a month.

ThoseDamnCrows · 23/04/2023 18:36

Rarely, maybe 2 or 3 times a year. It used to be 2 or 3 times a week though!

SquigglePigs · 23/04/2023 18:36

We go through spells where we'll get one a week/10 days and then spells where it's less often. Occasionally more often if it's a bad week.

I hear a lot of "it's expensive and tastes rubbish" but we're lucky that we have access to some excellent take away options - award winning fish and chip shop, excellent Nepalese, great Chinese, fabulous Turkish food (that one is expensive as we can only get it via Uber Eats so it's £££ on top of the actual food!), even decent burger and kebabs.

dementedpixie · 23/04/2023 18:38

Every 2 weeks on a Saturday usually

Cookerhood · 23/04/2023 18:41

During lockdown we had one most weeks for a change & because I was fed up of thinking about what 6 people could eat every day. Now it's mostly just one or two of us & I can't remember the last one I had. We eat out once or twice a month though.

Shouldbesleeping8 · 23/04/2023 18:43

Once a fortnight

HowManySunflowers · 23/04/2023 18:45

Once or twice a month

Greensleevevssnotnose · 23/04/2023 18:45

I had one last week but OH had 5

Mumma2Ro · 23/04/2023 18:48

Every Saturday night

Gratedpotato · 23/04/2023 18:55

About twice a month

carriedout · 23/04/2023 18:57

I reckon we have chips from the chip shop about once every 6-8 weeks, other than that no takeaways.

Convovulus · 23/04/2023 18:58

About once a month

Okunevo · 23/04/2023 19:00

I don't remember the last time we had one, I think maybe 2021

Fudgewomble · 23/04/2023 19:01

Once a year maybe? Kids maybe once every 2 months.
