previously we do it every week, but lately we just order from outside and have it delivered. it saves a lot. the savings comes from the rice, and the drinks. you just do not have the ambiance, but who cares?

WE eat out almost every night! it saves time because it's only three of us at home, and mom always told me not to cook but rather have take away. It might cost a little, but it's better than cooking for so little people but you have to spent time in the kitchen.

in this case i agree with you, because its hard to cook if there is only 3 of you. when we had only child before, we always eat out too.

Before we used to eat out every weekend so that we can enjoy our time as a family. But now that we are low on funds we tag along with my in-laws when they eat out. Hopefully soon when we get to save up we can be able to eat out and do more outdoor activities as a family like before.

Hi Thebestmom,
Sunday is when we are all together with my 3 children. The normal Sunday for us would be an early mass, then we go to the grocery for the usual shopping for the week's supplies. After shopping for grocery, it would be time for lunch already and we always eat lunch outside. We either eat it at the department store where we buy groceries or sometimes, we go to the mall where a wide choice of restaurants is available. Sunday is a good bonding time for me and my children.

hi thebestmom!
At work we usually eat out or sometimes have our food delivered. My family and I prefer to have home cooked meals and we seldom go out for dinner or lunch. We usually order some food outside and eat it at home. It saves us a lot of money.

DH and I eat out way too much. Not only is it more expensive, you have no control over the sodium and fat content of your meals. I live in the L.A. area and as of 1/1, restaurants have had to post the calories and nutritional content of their meals. Believe me, it has definitely changed the way that I order. I always check nutritional information on line before we go out to eat so that I have a plan in place. Still, the healthiest way to eat is to eat at home.

I eat out way too much! Only because it's a lot easier than cooking for my mom, and me as well. Also, then there's not all of the dirty dishes to do, so I don't tell her not to get the food in the first place! Plus, it tastes really good, too, no matter how bad it is for you!

Yes we are...me, my son and my sis in -law.we attend church service every sunday from 10:00-11:30 in the morning
after the service, we dine in for lunch, our favorite fast food chain is KFC
we love chicken steak, rice with chicken soup,and the chicken burger. then after that we'll go the the mall, my son will have some rides, and sometimes we use to play too.. we find it hard to catch stuff toy in the crane, just to hard to win there.

I've recently stopped eating out. I can't afford it anymore. It's just a waste of money, in my mind. Well I try to think of it that way. I'm a broke college student and I really need to start paying off my debt.
