How Often...

[xboxmom]

Quite a bit actually. I would say once a week with the family maybe more. And then DH brings home a Little Caesars pizza I swear every other night. The kids like having it around for lunch and snacks. With 5 kids someone is always eating and hey you can't beat 5 bux!

Usually once a week on Friday nights. If we are going to the beach we grab fast food on the way. Sometimes it is more than once a week. It all depends on what we have going on.

It used to be 2-3x a week when I was working, but since my job ended and finances have gotten tighter, it's maybe once every other week.

DH works from home, so it's easy to make something for the two of us for lunch and dinner. Since SS eats out almost every meal (unless he eats a hot dog at home) with his mom, we almost always cook real food to eat at our house when we have him.

If DH and SS are out and abt without me, they do fast food. DH will also eat out if he's working in the field with a colleague.

*lol* I guess it's really just ME that doesn't eat out very often anymore!

wow!! you guys go out a lot!!! I can't rationalize spending that much money so often. Plus for us, Shane gets home from work, we eat dinner and it's bedtime. So if/when we go out to eat, it feels like it takes up the whole night and leaves no family time--or time for Shane with the girls.

We go out about once a month--I think it kind of makes it more "special" too because it's not very often.

Ever since someone (I think here) posted about that site with how bad some of these places are for you, I just can't do it anymore! Fast food never sounds good (sadly) but I guess it's a good thing. I guess since I'm trying to lose baby weight, it's been easier for me to not eat too much fast food or greasy foods. We don't eat great at home, but not bad either.

Shane takes his lunch to work or comes home. We have money for him to go out every day, but he doesn't like to and we like to save our money for fun things instead!

We try to keep take out to 1-2x a week or less but sometimes we end up going out more. We rarely go to sit down places though mostly because @ 2yo Kyle just can't/won't sit still lol. If we have someone to watch the kids then we might go out but that's not very often at all. Mostly we either get Chinese from Great Wall or order pizza or if it's the kids choice then it's McD's.

We eat out a lot on the weekends, and usually order a pizza one night/week.

We were eating out A LOT.... like 3 times a week (4 times a week for me when I was in school). I loooove me some Chipotle or In N Out.

Buuuuut, we are like DIRT POOR right now, so we've changed our spending habits. We decided a few weeks ago that we can only really afford eating out 2x a month. I haven't been out to eat in over TWO WEEKS. I'm dying. lol

Once or twice. Maybe more in the summer as we go out more often.
