I am not good at all with cooking. So, I don't cook my meals at home. I go out to restaurants for lunch near my work place during the weekdays, and those near my home for dinner. There are shopping malls too where there are many fast food restaurants. From time to time, I also enjoy having lunches and dinners at restaurants which serve delicious international buffets. How about you ? How often do you have meals outside ?

I usually eat at home. I think that eating at home is better for health than eating outside. Besides, meals at home are cheaper than. Sometimes, I go to eat at restaurant with my friends or my family.

Yes, I certainly agree with you. You are lucky too. For me, I cannot cook. Cooking is one thing I am not good at all. So, I either have to go to restaurants for lunch and dinner, or buy microwaveable dinner packs, on a daily basis. I go to the shopping malls some times.

Oh I see. Yes, it can get pretty costly eating outside, particularly at the classical restaurants. Since I don't cook at home, I go to food courts in the shopping malls. They are more economical.

Hi Greenline
We eat out on from time to time usually we go to the lunch buffet rather than dinner and try to go more on week days than weekends. Sometimes I get a gift gard from the restaurant to use at a later date also I do that for the movies to so down the line when money is a little tight we can at least have a dinner and a movie night out

Since I don't cook at home, I have to go to restaurants for lunch and dinner. I prefer going to restaurants which serve delicious buffets, lots of choices. I some times go to Chinese and Japanese restaurants too. Very nice food !

Yes, I understand what you mean. I had stayed in hostels too. The food they prepare may be good and delicious, but the problem often is they seldom change the menu. So that makes it very monotonous. That makes people go out often for better meals.

My husband and I do eat out on a fairly regular basis. Some times, it's more than other times, but we try not to do it very often. It's very expensive, and we don't have a lot of money, which is why we try not to do it very often. There are times, when we can't really help it, but we do our best not to do it all the time or very often.

Yup, eating out at restaurants can be very expensive. For me, since I do not cook at home, I have to go out pretty much on a daily basis. To save the cost, I some times go to the food courts in the shopping malls. They are much cheaper, and the food is quite nice any way.

I eat ouside pretty much on a daily basis, because I don't cook at home. I go to different restaurants in the city, and my preferences are the ones which serve buffets. They have a variety of choices. And, as you say, they are good for the change of taste.

Oh, not so often. Maybe 2-3 times a month. Eating out is very expensive where I live, so this is the reason, to be honest.

Yes, that's right. Eating out can be expensive. I do go to restaurants often, but some times, I buy microwaveable dinner packs to save the expense. I am not good at cooking at all.
