Members badboybass Posted June 2, 2005 Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 my wife and I eat very healthy and like our own cooking. We eat out less than once a month, though we do have a charcoal chicken once a week on a friday nite when we cant be bothered cooking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sludgebass69 Posted June 2, 2005 Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 Unfortunately, probably at least 5 times a week............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jazz Ad Posted June 2, 2005 Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 I bring my son to a random burger house once a week or so. More for the games than the food.other than that I cook myself and tend to avoid ready made food. It's always too greasy and salty. Due to my job I eat at the restaurant pretty often for lunch. It quickly becomes boring so I alternate with homemade sandwiches or salads. Once or twice a year I try to have dinner in a very nice restaurant, usually with a good friend.

Members The Insomniac Posted June 2, 2005 Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 About once a month for the full sit down dinner and about once every other week for take out pizza or Taco Bell. My wife loves to cook and we work out of our house so time isn't a factor very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted June 2, 2005 Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 Damn! This isn't at all what I was thinking! Oh well, about 1 to 3 times a week, and it can be any meal. Breakfast out is just as much a treat as dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Kashue Posted June 2, 2005 Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 Originally posted by sludgebass69 Unfortunately, probably at least 5 times a week............... I'm probably in this realm too, especially if you consider just eating junkfood instead of a proper meal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted June 2, 2005 Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 We probably do takeout 1-2 times a week on average. Too much in my opinion but a lot of times I'm off to some sort of rehearsal by the time my wife walks through the door and she's not much of a cook.

Members Thunderbroom Posted June 2, 2005 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 I'm hearing pretty much what I expected. My wife/kids are driving me nuts with this. They tend to eat out at least one meal per day (7 days a week). They think this is normal. Since none of them contribute to the cash flow, they seem to be oblivious to how much it costs us. When I try to broach the subject, and I try to be as polite about it as possible, they tend to say "there you go again complaining about money". As long as the ATM works, we must have money, right?

Members FreestyleIntruder Posted June 2, 2005 Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 Very rarely. I might have a takeaway if I'm out on a binge, other than that...hardly ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J. Posted June 2, 2005 Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 Originally posted by xvertirx I love eating out. I knew someone would eventually say something!!! It depends... I always go out to eat when someone is visiting or my parents are up or whatnot, but when nothing like that goes on I can go a long time between restaurant visits.

Members Gaui Posted June 2, 2005 Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 Originally posted by Emprov Two words: Taco Bell. No Taco Bell here and everything is very expensive, 12" sub at subway is 12$, Mcdonalds meal around 11$, 1 15" pizza at dominos is 22$ and so on.

I hope my wife doesn't read this, or she'll use this as an excuse to eat out more. I can here her now: "Be glad we don't live in Iceland!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zachoff Posted June 2, 2005 Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 Each week? More like each month. We don't go out much. We do get takeout about once every two weeks, but we go out maybe once a month, if that. --edit-- I eat out every day at lunch by myself though.

Members badboybass Posted June 2, 2005 Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 buy her the book 'Fast Food Nation' and see how much she wants to eat out after reading that. my wife and I havent touched MacDonalds or any thing like that in about a year since we read that book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bluesman0511 Posted June 2, 2005 Members Share Posted June 2, 2005 Originally posted by sludgebass69 Unfortunately, probably at least 5 times a week............... Gotta put me and my family in this range also, unfortunately. Plus I work out of town Mon-Fri anywhere from 20 - 30 weeks per year. When I'm on the road I am usually by myself and I eat 3 meals a day in restaurants. It gets real old!!! The real treat is sitting down to a homecooked meal in my own home...

Members L-1329 Posted June 3, 2005 Members Share Posted June 3, 2005 In a normal month I may average 2 to 3 meals a day out, but I am also in the travel industry and spend a lot of time on the road. The company picks up the check for that fortunately! Still, it is a real treat as said to sit down to a good relaxing meal at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Detox Posted June 3, 2005 Members Share Posted June 3, 2005 When the new Del Taco that's 4 blocks from my house opens, I suppose I'll "eat out'" 5 days a week for the first month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
