How Often...

We eat out a 2-3 times a week probably (normally on the weekends).

We normally eat out about 2-3 times a week. Usually Saturday night or breakfast on Sunday morning.

Usually about 2-3 times a week here. It's usually on the weekends. Every now and then in the middle of the week we'll pick up some fast food because we have something going on that night. There is a new Mexican restaurant in town (our town of less than 3000 people, lol) and it's delicious and cheap, so we like to go there too.

dh eats lunch out every day...once in awhile he will bring lunch...I made him creamy turkey enchiladas for lunch this week and chicken noodle soup (Reames frozen kind...added some turkey). ...but he prefers to eat out because "everyone else does"...I don't like that he spends so much on lunches...but then I spend *HERE* so I don't say anything.

...I can't quite justify spending as much on digital as he spends on lunches...but I spend more on my hobby with the laptop, camera, and brand new 12x12" printer...but I still be he spends more...he spends at least $40 a week on lunches...sometimes more! Course I justify that by saying my scrapbooks last 100+ years...and how long does his spending last...until he goes...

Prior to last September (aka when we joined the Robotics Team)...we ate OUT in a real restaurant about 6 times a year. Little Caesars Pizza (cheap pizza) every Friday ... and fast food probably 2-3 times in a month maybe. Once we joined the Robotics Team we were eating out fast food like 3-4 times a week! Sonic was most of those times...I seriously got tired of Sonic after 3 months...and I gained some weight definitely!

NOW...it's about once a week fast food. Still don't do sit down restaurants very often since it is so expensive with 5 people.

May had to have been our highest eating out bill in one month in 25 years while we were on vacation. Disney was NOT CHEAP to eat at.

I think our eating out declined when I bought dh a smoker and when he got his new grill last year!!

Tip: Watch your local grocery store ... our Hy-Vee had a fantastic deal on a really nice grill last year!

Rarely anymore. Jordan's pockets might as well be glued shut. We even have gift cards to restaurants that we got for Christmas that we still haven't used.
But since I don't do much cooking, I can't complain all that much.

We don't eat out for lunch at work very often either. We make a trip to Walmart once every 10 days or so and get stuff to eat that we can store at work. Soups, mac-n-cheese, bread, deli cold cuts, etc.
