Is it a waste of money to eat out for lunch?

hi there, i don't think its a waste of money to eat - out once in a while....everyone likes it. and particularly if you are like me who just loves pizzas, then i guess you cant stop it.....once we start thinking of it, we want to have it right?... have a nice day.

Mermaidivy, sometimes we should treat ourselves with something good. Eating all days instant noodle at home not only hurt your health, but also give you less chances to meet new friends if you eating outside. You make money just for a better and satisfied life, now you can do it by ordering a pizza, why not

While it may be a waste of money, if you really want pizza for lunch, you should not ignore your craving. I don't like the idea of living on instant noodles, but pizza is not necessarily the healthiest choice either. It can't hurt to splurge once in a while as long it is not every day. Happy eating!!!

Hi there mylotter.. I think you're very crazy bout pizza aren't you ? So if you have the money..not necessary to feel guilty i guess..you just buy some pizza..enjoy it...have fun.. But if you feel have to save it...you should eat at home. Case closed..he he...

once in a while, it's not that bad to reward yourself with something you love to eat most...but if you do it everybody, you'd be throwing a lot of money coz we all know how much we can save if we cook at home versus buying food outside.

its not a waste of money ordering foods. like me, i used to order food as i dont cook at home as im living alone. its so nice to buy delicious food than cooking out of ur own... but of course u have to make sure that its within ur budget...

Personally I feel it is a waste of money. I used to calculate for myself the amount I pay for my food, I could have bought..... It is definitely cheaper if one eats at home. Imagine how much a fish burger cost when made at home compared to eating out at a fast food restaurant.

Just recently i read in the paper that pizza is bad for health.It can be eaten once a while but not always.I eat pizza once a month in my home.Because you feel you are wasting money.You can eat instant noodles.They are made of wheat and it is very nutritious for the body.Hope i made the right decision for you.Anyway what did you eat for lunch that day?

I think its good to eat out once in a while - get out of the house or work.Its more expensive to eat out but once in a while its such a nice Treat. I usually make meals and take them with me to work.

I am quite late with my response to help you decide. I hope that this kind of thing is the biggest decision you have to make for a while! You will have to let us know what your decision was; pizza or noodles? Personally as much as I like pizza I would rather save what little money I have for other things and just make myself a toasted sandwich.

If I were you I will eat pizza! Though, your right it's a waste of money but sometimes you have to treat yourself especially if you are single don't deprive yourself. Eat out, have fun enjoy your life. Because when you get married, you will never know, you will rather save your money for your family. You might feel guilty if you spend so much for a just a lunch. Happy mylotting!

Hi mermaid...I don't think that it's a waste to have lunch out at all if you have the money and want to have something out. After all everyone needs a treat sometimes!

I will go out to eat for lunch sometimes, but for the most part I try to bring a lunch to work, or eat at home. I like to save as much money as possible, especially during these difficult economic times. Also, when you cut down on eating out, when you actually eat out, you don't have to feel guilty about it! If I had noodles at home, I would totally be eating them!

why you do not making pizza at home? it is much cheaper and more healthy. you can make few at a time when you have free time and freeze. when you want to eat, you need as much time as make a noodles :)

Well, don't do it, just pack you a lunch from Home I guarantee you you will save a lot of money!

Dear friend, I do hardly have food from out as I do like my own home food and which I consider is better for my health and stomach. Moreover having a pizza is but hard for me especially during lunch, but having noodles is better for me. But mostly I have my own local rice meals.

By the time you will be reading my response, you would have either have enjoyed your pizza or noodles. I hope you had a pizza as it is something you were looking forward to. No matter what you did, I hope you enjoyed dinner.

NO this is no wastage of money to eat outside becase sometimes we have to take food outside like picnic .park .

i know pizza is expensive, but for life sometimes you should know how to enjoy it. if you really want a pizza and for now you really can afford it, why not? just remember to be practical in life. don't have pizza all the time. most of time to cook at home to save money. so when someday you really want to have special meal to treat yourself you can afford it. from your saying i think you are very reseanable person. you know how to live economically. it's very good. i also like pizza, especially Domino's pizza. to me it's also expensive. so just for a little special day i order it. i think after long period of not eating domino's pizza, when i eat it again, i feel it's more delicious.

Well, I suggesst that if you really want to go out to have pizza,and you have enough time to realize that then you definitely should go. For me, I usually only own a hour to have lunch, therefore, I always order some fast food and finish them in a short time. You can imagine that if I go out for lunch in a limited time, I feel kind of presure and then I could not enjoy the happy pizza time, so Iwould choose a free time to enjoy it. Finally, if you have enough time in your lunch time then just going out to have pizza happily.
