How often do you eat out at restaurants?

Couple times a week
Prefer cooking
Nope

Never. Prices are jacked and service sucks. Most of the rest of the world doesn't eat out so I don't feel like I'm missing out on a much needed service or luxury. Maybe one day if the industry dies and is reborn but I won't hold my breath.

With prices rising it’s becoming less and less. Eat out for dinner once a week. Half and half on lunch

Not often at all, but we do carryout from places. Most people (especially the younger generation) I think sees it as a bit of a waste of time going through the whole restaurant thing.. waiting to be seated, order, wait for food, etc. I could be completely wrong though...

Depends. I make some things I love. I'm the cook in the family. Wife struggles in the kitchen. Sometimes I may crave something only available at a certain restaurant though. It's like everything else, sometimes you're in the mood to cook, sometimes you're not. I prefer eating at home though I guess.

Not sure what the question means... you worried about people going broke from eating out?

Twice or so a week, although it's take out. We haven't had a meal in a restaurant since before covid unless traveling.

We grab takeout about once a week. Fast food maybe twice per month. Sit down restaurants maybe twice per month.

It used to be much more, now maybe once a week. I have always liked to cook.
One of our favorite places here was never cheap but now their prices are just high. A burger that was normally 18 is now 26. Steak frites now 56. We sat at the bar and had two drinks, mine was a chance cocktail and the wife had a glass of wine, 33 bucks.

How often would you say you and your family eat out at restaurants?

Once during the week and 2-3 times on weekends. We have a 3 year old, so he usually shares what either my wife or I order. It will definitely go down once he's old enough to have his own order.

Do you prefer eating out versus cooking at home?

I prefer cooking at home, but my wife doesn't, so we go out to eat

Do you thinking it can be addicting and detrimental to your budget to eat out too much?

Not addicting, but definitely detrimental to your budget. Eating out can be very expensive and a waste of money.

2-3 times a year.

once a week, sometimes two if theres an occasion like birthday or anniversary. I always look forward to the experience but once done feel I could have done better at home.

I am in my 40s, so the thing stopping me from going more often is health. I have hypertension and gout and Louisiana food is a killer for both those ailments.
