3 or 4 times a week.   Breakfast or Lunch only.

 

Try to use a coupon.

Pretty much, never....  It's too expensive I think...

Re: How often do you eat out?

Dinner once a week  (my son takes me and pays) and lunch 1-2 times a month (with women friends and I pay for myself). When I was still working, I packed my lunch from home every single day - too expensive to eat out all the time.  My 40-year-old son packed his lunch all the way thru schools and still does even though he makes an excellent salary .  We don't eat fast food and don't like greasy, rich food. I was a divorced Mom and really had no choice but to limit expenses.  My son is so frugal that even though he got a Master's Degree, he would never buy a textbook if there was a copy in the school library - would just go to the library to do the reading.

Re: How often do you eat out?

My husband would eat out more than seven times week if he had a choice. Instead, he follows my plan, which is to eat out about 3 times per month. We eat lunch out with friends a couple of times each month and dine out for dinner as a couple once a month. We occasionally meet another couple for dinner. We just returned from a ten day vacation, where we ate out every day, three times a day. I have no desire to eat out any time soon, although I’m not averse to bringing home a BBQ chicken from the local supermarket.

Re: How often do you eat out?

Since I retired in late May, maybe one meal, once a week.

It's not planned, it may be because it's convenient or I just get a craving for BBQ or something like that.

Re: How often do you eat out?

Almost never. Once in a while. I do not enjoy eating out unless I am in California or Europe. I love to cook, I use fresh ingredients so we eat much healthier at home.

Only once in a while I crave pizza, Chinese or KFC.

Re: How often do you eat out?

we are retired and usually 2-3 times a week for lunch during weekdays. We use coupons or know the specials of local resturants. We don't go fast food we like to sit down plus most of the time I bring half of it home. I do cook on the weekends. We rarely get pizza it's at a local place where we sit down.

Re: How often do you eat out?

My DH and I ate out frequently--lunch maybe 3 days a week and maybe a dinner or two a week.  Now it's just me so I go out with my family once or twice a month and a ladyfriend once in a while.    I have always enjoyed cooking so I do cook all my meals--no TV dinners, etc.
