I just want to see how many of you eat out alot. I had good spendings on food last year. This year I have to start saving some money and stop eating out as much. I go out to eat alot with my girlfriend, maybe like 2-3 a week, and just any restaurant. We are talking about $20 a plate in average each, then you have the wine and stuff. Anyway I told her that we save up some money and start eating more home and try to cook. What about you, do you eat out often? and why?

I don't like eating out much because most restaurants are so noisy. I don't feel comfortable. I eat take-out food often though, mostly because I don't have time or patience to cook, or I want to eat something different from what I know how to cook (ie: "ethnic" food: chinese, indian, japanese, italian, etc.) Some kinds of food can actually save you money, considering that you're not buying ingredients, using any electricity/gas to cook them or water to wash up all the cooking utensils needed to prepare your own food.

Eating take out is faster, but the food wont be as warm when you come to eat it, right?

It usually is if you don't take too long to get home. And you can always heat it in the microwave if it's too cold or you're left with um, left-overs :)

Usualy i eat home because my mom is cooking and she cooks excelent food belive me, but in weekends i eat with my friends at fast-food just a litle not like pigs. I like to eat much but i don't get fat because i eat the right stuff.My advice buy a cook book and stop eating in restaurants maybe just ocazionaly, on youre or her birthday ,aniversery...Make some sport you and youre grilfriend like jogging in the morning is a healthy way to.

i like to eat out a lot... for 2 reasons: u can just order what ever u want, having different kinds of food at a time and secondly, u cant eat everything or eat anywhere when u get older.. we would have too many restrictions on our diet by then.. at that time we can cook what is reqd at home... my opinion apart - home cooked food are always healthier

Well you got to know where to eat and what kind of food to eat. If it's always these really fast food, anyone will put weight from those.

It is fun to go out all in a good close group. The food will be more fun and appetizing.

I eat out very rarely. I go to Panera Bread sometimes. My family is going out to eat this week. Mostly, I go to Applebees with some friends. I guess that's considered eating out but we only go after 10 to get the apetizers half off.

we eat out at subway or pizza pizza maybe once very 3 weeks to a month, while fast food is easier it is a little exspensive and is just 1 meal...however with my wife being a Vegan it is sooo much more expensive to make supper by purchasing everything at the grocery store....which is why I don't mind eating out. It seems if you want to be healthy and eat healthy they charge you twice as much.

Yes you're right, the better the food, the more expenssive it is.

eating out a lot is not so good to health i thought.I enjoy the process of cooking, and then have the meal with my family or my girlfriend is so warm.

But there are lots of good helthy restaurants that are good. Even fast food places and healthy as well, like Dagwoods or Subway or these small veggy restaurants. But I guess cooking with the family is more valuble.

i always eat outside when im on malls for shopping,it is normal to all of us to eat outside when outside right.for me eating outside makes me comfortable because no dishes to cleaned up after,there serve you,and the food its different in taste even if you copy the ingredients and procedures it really taste different.,its nice to eat outside.

I dont like to eat out,but my boyfriend like very much to eat out,because is fast and you dont must to care of food.I think that is more cheap to eat at home,where you can cook how do u like to eat.I believe that is healthy what you cook with your hands.
