Having dinner out with friends is a big part of my social life. I love trying new places and cuisines and I love the time I spend with my friends enjoying a great meal. I do this maybe three times per month. Other than that, I have lunch out once or twice a week.

If I am craving Mexican or Chinese food it is much cheaper to have the meal out rather than buy all the ingredients to cook it just for me. If I want sushi, I go out to get it. I'm lucky to have many good places near me.

I rarely dine in. Drive through or Little Ceasar's.

Add to that, people complain how awful the food is at Olive Garden. Yet, every lunch and dinner the parking lot is packed.

we eat out usually twice a week, sometimes more depending on the time of the year or where we are. i do love to cook and i am an excellent cook, but i really enjoy going out, having a cocktail, and having someone else prepare the dinner for me.....it is a nice treat and makes me feel just a little spoiled.

I would love to eat out more often than our once or twice a month. DH prefers my cooking and is very picky about restaurants and the service provided.

I wish I had a girlfriend who would join me for culinary expeditions. I love trying new places especially where the food is the chef's (or cook's) passion. Sometimes I go alone (DH works out of town) but it's always more fun with good company.

it is great when you can find someone other than just a hubby or s/o to go out with. sometimes i am out with a girlfriend or girlfriends, sometimes it is my mom , sometimes it is one of my children, and occasionally it is just by myself. one of my daughters loves to try almost EVERYTHING, so she is quite adventurous......and has now started a foodie blog.

i also love finding good coupons to use via the internet OR using restaurant.com.

Your husband is getting a very good deal, Free, if he gets 28 meals at home versus 2 out. You need to renegotiate

I love to cook, but also love to eat out, and do so 2-3 times every week. Typically, this includes one dinner, one lunch, and one take out meal. I get good ideas for future meals to make at home by going out and trying new things. Even if these meals cost more than they would for me to make at home...it's money well spent.

We don't eat out anywhere near as often as we used to, and I don't know why. I think I need to put my foot down - or at least my spatula and wooden spoon.
