Which do you prefer to do more than the other? I generally won't eat out a ton, but I will if the occasion arises (like birthdays, traveling, or community events). What about you?
Eating out or not?

I've always preferred a good home-cooked meal as opposed to eating out. It likely stems from my mother being a VERY good cook, so we really never did eat out all that often as she would always prepare our favourite dishes on birthdays, holidays, etc.
We eat out once a week or once every 2 weeks. In fact we ate out last night before going to a funeral wake of my husband's aunt. For us, eating out is an occation whether there is an occasion or not. We carefully choose the restaurant so what we spend is worth the food. And when we eat out, it's just like a date and time for bonding. But we are aware that eating out often will cost money and may ruin our finances. It's all right to eat out once in a while only.
I agree with you. Breakfast is the only decent excuse I can come up with.

I rather like ordering from my favorite restaurant and having it delivered to my door. Does that count as eating out?
How much would you spend on food then

* * If it's just for my husband and me we can get away with spending less than $25. This Chinese restaurant by our house is really good!
Eating a home cooked meal is the best way to go in my view. It almost always tastes far better than what you can buy at a restaurant and it's more enjoyable to be around family/friends while eating, then a bunch of people you don't know. I get something quick every once in a while, but that's about it.
I come from a (poor) family that never really went out to have a meal.
Only really had that going on if we went to ikea or something but that's pretty much it, so i grew up with no fancy things going on like this and i am honestly not bothered about it
Eating out can be ridiculously expensive, sometimes so much it can make you extremely mad how much you have to pay somewhere for a tiny meal lol BUT nowadays i have done it more because i am together with someone who is actually used to going out for a meal
It's nice.... i like it , not cooking all the time is nice sometimes but i am perfectly happy with just eating at home. Rather spend my money on new clothing or something / more value for your money in my opinion

Same thing here. I would always choose home-cooked meal. Part of the reason might be because I am used to it, but I would prefer eating in my own kitchen, with my family as well. Eating outside as in pizzerias, sure, but restaurants and such, not really my thing. I have only gone to restaurants on really special occasions.
I don't know about you, but I eat out almost everyday. The real reason being is that my boss always brings everyone lunch where I work.
