re: How often are yall eating out?

Maybe 4-5x a year.

It’s expensive as frick. I can meal prep for 2 weeks with the price of one meal eating out. It’s beyond ridiculous. Plus with 3 kids, it’s not much fun at a restaurant. We only go when there’s a sitter involved

If you are cooking as well as a decent restaurant, you are spending a lot of time shopping, cooking, and doing dishes.

I go to Costco twice a month and we fill in the rest with just stopping off at grocery store on way home. The overall time and effort is less than the time and hassle of going to a restaurant. Granted we live pretty far out in the sticks and the country cooking places near us mostly suck. We do the local Mexican place once every two months.

I can make a healthy breakfast super fast and cheap. And once we slow down with travel we’re restocking the chicken coop and replanting the garden.

In season I can cut some asparagus and throw a steak on the grill and cleanup is nothing (we use paper plates w kids).

Cook a meal once a week when im alone, 4 timea a week when i have the kid, and the reat of the time is door dash or tv dinner. Maybe a totinos pizza or air fry some pizza rolls/cheese sticks. Cereal and yogurt for breakfast.

I go to Chipotle pretty often, but if I can’t easily count calories and macros then I’m swearing off it for now.

My wife is an excellent cook and she enjoys doing it, so i usually only eat at restaurants when traveling to the "city" or the steakhouse at the casino when we're out there.

With the family, hardly ever. The dining experience is a bit of a bother.

10-15x a month

Eating out way more these days. It’s cheaper. Actually. Way cheaper than the grocery store. Have you seen the prices at the supermarket lately?

Usually at least once a week, mostly on Saturday mornings when we first wake up.

3-4 times a month.
