Well, once in while I would like to go out but with the economy the way it is we dont go out much. If we do its usually take out or a fast food place. Once in a while we splurge and actually go out but I always cook at home...Can't afford to do anything else.

I cook mostly on Sundays and in the middle of the week but eat out on Fridays and Saturdays.

I cook everyday except on some Sunday's my mother inlaw will cook dinner or we might go out after church ... otherwise I cook every day.

Yes being on a fixed income does put a damper on going out to eat if I have any money left from grocery budget then maybe but most of the time I cook at home while listening to some of my favorite tunes. :wave:

I do both.
And actually, I have about come to the conclusion it is cheaper to eat out.

Steak, potato, salad bar with dessert for $14 bucks, try to make all that at home for that price.

I love cooking at home.  My mom is a terrific cook.  Her food is so much better than the food I could get at a restaurant.

Try to cook at home most of the time. Taking the kids out can be a nightmare sometimes and we just can't afford to eat out a lot any more.

I have never cooked in my whole entire life. But I often go out to eat when I feel like walking and taking some outside air, or call for delivery when I'm busy. Sometimes my food gets cold lol, and sometimes the very food I ordered I end up throwing it away...busy life -_-'

I can cook, but hate to. I get so hot and lose my appetite by the time i finish. I prefer going out to eat, no clean up!

I wish that I had more time to cook at home but am not blessed with that luxury.  I love to cook and my kids love the closeness that sitting at the dinner table provides.  Unfortunately, with work/sports/kids activities, we end up going out to eat alot.  We like to have one nice dinner out at a restaurant at least once a week...trying new restaurants is an adventure that we all enjoy.  My son has started picking resipes out of the cook book and cooking them on Wednesdays. I do Mondays and my wife does Sundays.  My daughter is jammed with homework but tries something every once and awhile.

To be honest, I can't cook at all.  I prefer to have takeout delivered to me.  I order Chinese food from a place near my house on a pretty regular basis.

I really like cooking at home.  Food seems to taste better when I cook it at home vs going out...except maybe for some deserts where going out is the better choice.  Also, I like collecting easy to make recipes, so the meals are homemade, but don't take hours to prepare.

Yesterday I made myself some homemade cinnamon roasted peanuts that are soooo addictive.  Way better than the store bought ones.  Tonight I'm going to try to make homemade kettle corn.  mmmmm

I love to cook for my family and find that very fulfilling. My kids also love to go out for dinner and so we also do that once in a while.

We used to eat out frequently but since I have not been working we only go out for special occasions.It is easy to recreate some of your favorite restaurant and take out items and costs a lost less.

I cook at home all the time now.  The food tastes a lot better and is a lot cheaper than eating out all the time.

I like to go out to eat from time to time. However, I can't really afford regular restaurant visits, so I just try to get creative with my cooking at home.  :wave:

Prefer to eat at home than go out and waste money on food that you can also make at home. But once every now and than I'll eat out.

I cook at home, we go out on special occasion and since it is just the two of us, sometimes we just eat at home.

We mostly eat at home, if we go out we usually eat from the dollar menu.

Most of the time I cook but I do go out occasionally and with my kids busy sports schedule it is a necessity to eat out at times.

I try to cook at home as often as I can but inevitably with my schedule I end up going out to eat quite often.  It is so much more expensive to go out but generally easier and more convenient.

I usually cook at home myself. It's one of the things that I truly enjoy doing. I will go out sometimes if it's a really busy day or something, but I would rather just have a home cooked meal.

well, I like to stay home and cook for myself. Then, again I don't think using the microwave is cooking anyways. I been using my microwave more than anything in my kitchen. It would be nice to find a woman to cook for me :)

Due to our limited budget, we eat at home the majority of the time.  I do get mystery shops to eat at the local steak house about every six weeks.

We normally eat at home and maybe once a month or so, we go out to eat if we have the money. My husband is the cook around our house. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving cause he makes a mean turkey and dressing! Yum!

At our apartment me and my girlfriend cook all the time.  Then we take the left-overs for lunch.  Rarely will we ever eat out at work.  As a matter of fact, since I started my position at the biginning of September this year, I have not bought lunch at all--and its been saving me a ton of money!

I try to cook at home, but I live with my parents and they say I make a mess.  I find myself going out and spending a lot more money than I really want to.
