Comments on: How often does your family go out to eat? Do you go out more than you can really afford to?

We eat out maybe once every couple of weeks, but it really freaks me out because we have so much debt. I feel like I don’t deserve it, so it is really hard for me to enjoy it,even if it’s just cheap fast food.

We go out to eat everyday, several times a day, it is really bad!! I am using the excuse that we are doing a global move (really we are, and we I don’t have time to cook)

Now all the kids have left home we go out at least once a week. It’s cheaper, we can eat at real restaurants not teenage ones and we can talk catch up and reconnect. It will happen one day for you all.

I love to eat out! My husband doesn’t. It’s a real treat for me. That said, I have re-discovered my almost love of cooking, and so I am enjoying cooking at home more, and I find it really helps if you can enjoy it. Unfortunately, my kids have the “eat-out-itis”, and frequently end up with cereal or a sandwich if they don’t like what I fix. I usually try to fix at least one thing that everyone likes, but sometimes they don’t like anything.

We go out to eat when we shouldn’t. I wish we could afford to eat out more often. We have a hard enough time keeping food on the table period I feel so guilty when we do eat out cuz I think how much food we can buy at the grocery with that.

Fridays we always go out to eat due to Saturday morning we go grocery shopping for the week. Lately we’ve been going out more than we should, but there’s the rest of the week to catch up on though. I just HATE doing dishes. We don’t own a dishwasher. Blaaahhh

We go out about twice a month. That is pretty much our only outside entertainment lately. It is a lot of money but at this point we still feel it is worth it.
