maybe once a month we will we will go out to eat. sometimes my mom just gets tired of cooking, or for a special occasion. other than that we try to eat at home.

i'm pretty privileged compared to most of my friends. i'm so thankful we don't live off hamburger helper or mcdonalds. my mom and my dad make delicious home cooked meals (helps that they worked at a restaurant for several years together). the most we'll eat from fast food is probably five times a year (and most of those occasions are when we're on the road in summer). it gets less and less as i get older---when i was a little girl we lived off kids meals and my mom was exhausted. although i do wish we ate out more in restaurants as a family! that would probably only count for twice the year. 

We eat out way too much.  We both work full time, and are pretty tired by the time we get home.  We probably eat out more than we eat in.  I'm hoping to change that this year, but it's hard, because I'm the one who has to do all the cooking.  

I like to cook, so most of the time I help my mom out.  I think it's better if you cook dinner because you know WHAT you're putting and how much of it.  Whereas, if you get take-out, you have no idea what they're doing to make it look so delicious.  At home, you may fry with oil, but outside they could be frying with butter or lard (both very unhealthy!)

The only time we would go out for a meal if it someone birthday or a treat,   on holiday we will go out everynight at different restuarants unless we go all inclusive,  where we would probably go out once during the holiday for a meal. 

@abcxunt@xanga - no doubt on the wave. hot pockets and pizza rolls :]

I love to cook. I feel better about myself when I do, b/c I know I can cook ten times healthier that any takeout.

However, b/c I am a college student, it's sometimes cheaper to get takeout than to cook for one person.

So, I simply go to my place of work. I know how to order healthy there, and b/c I get 50% off before I go onto work, I can get a great meal for about $6.

The last few months I prefer to cook, once a week or less I eat out... and I do that when I need to.  Now if only I'd head to the hamburger less and the salad more.

my mom cooks and i help :P
we only get take out or eat out once in awhile.

I LOVE cooking and eating my own food.... however being a college student with no ready access to a decent kitchen or kitchen tools/supplies, that kind of ruins it for me, at least for now.  I've learned to expand my restaurant-horizons :P

I am a diabetic and have a food allergy, so eating out isn't always easy for me. I eat out about once a week, sometimes more as a social event with my boyfriend and sometimes other friends. 

Takeout. I need to learn how to cook.
