Post by: LAkathi on February 22, 2012, 01:53:44 pm: We usually go out to eat once every other month or so. Of course we always go out to eat at nice,sit down,adult eatery for holidays, birthdays,and other special dates. With three children under the age of four even that is an accomplishment

Post by: sdecaro558 on February 23, 2012, 07:05:11 pm: All the time. Not for nice sit down meals, necessarily - but for something quick and easy because most of the time I'm busy after work (due to classes and being in school part time) so I don't really have time to cook.

Post by: meguk on February 23, 2012, 07:07:17 pm: Rarely. We can't afford it. And right now I've got a really restrictive diet, meaning that I have to make everything from scratch. Looking forward to the day when I can relax a bit and have someone else do the dishes!
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: CHANEYLAKEGIRL on February 24, 2012, 03:52:12 am: Not very often. We too have to watch where we are spending $$ and have cut back here. Way cheaper to eat at home.

Post by: jstev4506 on February 24, 2012, 04:31:53 am: I'm in my 20's and single so going out to eat with friends is a favorite pasttime. That said I probably go out 3-4 times a month. Definitely not every day. Couldn't afford that!
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: memedumb on February 24, 2012, 05:03:07 am: We work on Monday and Thursday nites during dinner time so we often eat out after we finish working. Our favorite places have become Denny's, Arby's and Subway.

Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: Tresbn00 on February 25, 2012, 01:20:34 pm: Including fast food restaurants we go out at least once per week...because of convenience. Colorado has a special this week called the 5280 week. Ninety participating restaurants offer a three course dinner for two at fifty two dollars and eighty cents. Tonight we will so out and spend $52.80 for our anniversary. Tomorrow night we will spend $52.80 for two dinners to go which will be more than enough food for the family to enjoy while watching the oscars. Next Friday we will take the kids out someplace special (for $52.80) to celebrate their good grades. I typically like to make all the fixings for quick dinner fixes in advance on Sundays but 5280 is a good deal.

Post by: frozenimage on February 26, 2012, 05:38:33 pm: I would eat out once a month with the family at mcdonalds or something. Everything is expensive and small these days that eating out isn't worth it anymore.
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: kaitsilva on February 26, 2012, 07:52:27 pm: I've been trying to cut down A LOT because it's so much more cost effective to eat at home, but I still find myself at restaurants a couple times a month. There's always some occasion that leads to one: birthdays, holidays, someone dropping into town, etc. At the very least, I don't tend to go to pricey places when I do go out!
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: bear74075 on February 26, 2012, 08:23:05 pm: I don't get to eat out much. I eat out with my family once a month.
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: champak97 on February 26, 2012, 08:49:28 pm: We used to go out couple of times a month, but have stopped doing that because of tight finances. My husband is out of job, and we limit all extra spending.
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: samiplace5 on February 27, 2012, 12:39:45 am: It's funny with how things have been changing with this uncertain economy. I remember I used to go out at least 4 times per month - about once a week. I'd enjoy eating at some really classy restaurants too. However, with the change in the economy, I am lucky if I can afford a personal sized pizza at the local pizza parlor with a friend or family member once a month. Ouch, has things changed over these past three years and I do miss going out as often as I did in the past too. I really do not enjoy a dirty kitchen and so to combat the dirty kitchen in lieu of no longer going out as often as I did in the past, I eat off paper plates I purchased from the dollar store. My, oh my.
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: tigerlilly01 on February 27, 2012, 04:42:02 am: we usually go out about once every two or three weeks..... probably a lot less in the months to come.
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: ladycasshmere on February 27, 2012, 08:34:27 am: Once a month for me too. I thought that was not enough but I see alot of other people had the same answer I did.
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: mprud046 on February 27, 2012, 09:00:09 am: My girlfriend and I used to go out for dinner on average once every 3 weeks and I used to buy a lunch up to twice a week. Once we looked at where we were spending our money we realized that we were throwing it away. No we make our own lunches (ok she makes lunches) and we eat out less than once a month and no more lunches. We have come to realize that the food we make at home is tastier less fatty and we have such a good time making the food. I find that the daily task are much more enjoyable and go by faster if we work together... sometimes making dinner seems like were just hanging out. Try it out!
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: rogery on February 27, 2012, 09:33:04 am: I guess that depends on what you call out for dinner. I am often out at dinner time so I grab fast food. That is usually 2 - 3 times per week.

Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: mjdoug03 on February 27, 2012, 11:30:18 am: Once a week. I used to work at a restaurant , so I try to avoid them! :)
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: vickysue on February 27, 2012, 12:39:37 pm: Once in a while we will go and eat a lunch after church. And the only time we go out for dinner is when we are out of town and staying overnight. otherwise we don't go out. Where we live is a very small town and it doen't take long before you have tried out everyplace. Go once and that is all. Sometimes not worth going back too. I am a better cook then most, not bragging spent a lot of time working and cooking in high price rest. So know what i want to see and eat.

Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: dymondzncurlz810 on February 27, 2012, 10:39:57 pm: We/I don't really have the money but my boyfriend go out about 1- 2 times a month because he never has any food at his house or the stuff to make it. My boss started this new thing where we go out about twice a month after work with him and his gf. It's really odd that we are friends and makes it difficult to deal with him at work sometimes. But I go out to eat a lot
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: d1cheetah on February 27, 2012, 11:49:39 pm: I only go out to eat on special occasions. But I can't even afford that anymore. I mean there's thanksgiving, halloween, christmas, mothers day, fathersday, grandparents day, secretary's day, valentines day, easter, memorial day, 4th of july, veterans day, wife's birthday, son's birthday, daughter's birthday, now the inlaws birthdays, grandkids birthdays. Hell, there's another must eat out occassion almost every other week. Whatever happened to a family dinner at home?!

Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: Notorious21 on February 28, 2012, 07:08:20 am: We try once a month. Just to save money but we also need time out away from the house.

Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: bjohnson16 on February 28, 2012, 01:56:43 pm: We go out to dinner on the weekend because of my son's extra activities on the weekend. But we try to only do it when we have coupons for the places to go to eat. Or we go were they may have been having sometimes have specials. But something that we do to try and save also is we don't order drinks we have water. that saves you alot when eating out. Also if the place has large servings I will ask for an additional plate so that I can share with my husband and son. So sometimes the three of us can go out to eat for around 20 for a nice meal.

Post by: munitono on March 01, 2012, 07:07:00 am: About once a month...not as much as I'd like to.
We take out about once a week though.
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: mrisha on March 01, 2012, 09:12:56 am: In the past years, never. My finances doesn't permit the luxury of eating out anymore. But hopefully I can return to doing the things I really enjoy soon.
Title: Re: how often do you go out for dinner
Post by: ShadeTree on March 01, 2012, 05:40:43 pm: Literally, pretty darn close to never. The same can be said for picking up something in a drive-thru or something of the like. I can only recall ever having something delivered to my house 3 times in my life. We just don't spend money on this kind of thing and haven't hardly done so for YEARS. I'd certainly like to at least once a month though.
