Trying to help out where I can with the local restaurants around my neighborhood. Going off lines, some are doing fine with take out but most aren’t. I’ve been getting something everyday whether it’s a coffee or tacos for the office. What about you baws? Not great for my waistline but I’m running further to offset.

Went support tf out of Edie's this morning. I am not running further or at all to offset.

But yea, I am trying to support local establishments when I can.

Every day. It's actually the directive given to my wife from her work so she expenses it.

I've picked up dinner once this week... which truthfully is about on average. Probably will one more time this weekend, but again, that's normal for my family... with a toddler that goes to bed at 7 most meals are in the house.

They have ordered lunch everyday for the essential crew. It's mostly been chains like Chick Fil A, Jimmy John's, and Dick's BBQ. I guess better than nothing.

We will probably order from Casa Garcia this weekend and leave a nice tip to the staff. That's about on par for us as a household.

Trying to order out at least 3x a week while all this shite is happening. For as long as I have a job at least.

Having French Press for lunch today. I've had Judice Inn, Pop's, and Mandez's so far this week. I'll probably pick up crawfish tonight. I haven't done anything to offset the calories lol

I am, but cautiously. I'm worried about the overall economic impact that this will have on our country. The service and hospitality industry will be hit first; however, it'll trickle down after that.

Not to be doom and gloom, but we may not see the effects until the next couple of months, but it is inevitable. This is a time to "tighten the belt" on our family's finances and we are trying to eat cheap/preserve what we have.

I'm trying to support as much as I can, but we are also trying to cut back on spending because of all the uncertainty, so...

Every day or two

Honestly though we eat out/get take out about 90% of the time so our numbers are probably down from the norm.

Got Mi Padre's the other day and they had curbside service, so that's a nice perk.

Have been doing small purchases daily but tonight my wife and I are going to make a large order at a nicer restaurant near us.

I don't want the area to lose all of the local businesses and just end up with my only options being Chipotle and Sweetgreens.

Last night was the first night we ordered out...hit Paulie’s since it’s a quick walk in the hood.

Will be doing more next week.

I'm doing my best by tipping big and ordering booze when I can. Those areas are hitting the places the hardest.

I'll walk to grab carryout from a neighborhood spot for dinner. Otherwise, I am eating breakfast and lunch at home.
