how often do you go out for dinner

[inertia4]

Not as often as I used to. I fell onto hard times and I need to conserve every penny.

I used to go out for dinner a lot, but lately when I can!

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.

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.

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!

I don't get to eat out much. I eat out with my family once a month.

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.

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.

we usually go out about once every two or three weeks..... probably a lot less in the months to come.

[ladycasshmere]

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.

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!
