    I rarely eat out. The main reason is because I find it hard to leave food in my house and go out to buy food or maybe I am just too cheap at times lol. I go out sometimes when i'm with friends or maybe a special family outing. Most of my eating is done in MY kitchen lol

    What about you?

    I eat out all most everyday. There is a Pizza Hit next door to my job, and me and a couple of co workers go there everyday for lunch. They have a great all you can eat buffet.

    I eat out once a week and budget £5 for the meal. It's just simple pub food but it's nice to have it cooked and is pretty nice actually. You've got to treat yourself once in a while, and £5 is quite reasonable considering what some people spend.

    My family and I eat out once a week. I budget that in by working on several apps to bring in the money for it.

    Not much since I don't go out as often as I did in the past. Once in a month maybe, when an old friend drops by, I can take them out and enjoy a good meal. The rest of the time however, I have all my meals at home.

    I eat out everyday at lunch because the meals are really cheap and it's almost the same price as if I cooked it at home, without all the work of shopping, cooking and carrying the meal. If it wasn't so cheap here at my work I would have to do it. Apart from those lunches is very rare for me to eat out.

    I rarely eat out and even then, only on special occasions. Even if money wasn't tight right now we'd still be eating at home since around here all decent restaurants are really expensive. Sure, the fast food is cheap but I wouldn't call that "eating out". Plus, I can't stand the taste.

    Maybe if the restaurants were cheaper, we'd eat out more often. But for now, a big NO!

    I don't eat out very often. I used to go out for a meal once a week with my family but we have stopped that now and I only go out for food at the moment if I am on holiday or if it is a special occasion. I have only eaten out once so far this year, for my birthday, a lot less than previous years. I think it is getting too expensive to be eating out regularly, which is a shame as it is nice to eat out once on a while.

    I used to eat out all the time, but now that I am trying to be more healthy, I tend not to. It's easier to eat healthy when you prepare all of your food on your own. That way you get all of the good foods and none of the bad.

    Twice a week is the most I can do. Sometimes I always get tired after work and the thought of cooking will not be near my head. But I try not to eat out a lot because I want to cook my own food and enjoy it. Sometimes you might get the food is not the way you expected it.

    I don't eat out much anymore. The only time I eat out is with my best friend, but I only have classes on Friday and Saturday because I'm almost graduating, so we only meet up like once a week.

    I'm sort of thankful that I don't have the need to go out often and spend money on fancy restaurants, like what my best friend and I used to do, so I'm sort of learning to save money for my future.

    These days, I probably eat out only once or twice a week. Most of the meals I eat are healthy home-cooked meals.
