COooking is the way to go to save some mulah, but eating out would be less lonely because you can hang out with your friends!  :thumbsup:

Eating out all the time can get expensive and sometimes the food do not be all that good, so it just feels good to have a nice healthy home cooked meal at home than it is to eating out every week...I only eat out maybe like twice a week. Plus it is more healthier to eat at home.

As the cook in the house, I don't mind doing it every night, but sometimes I am just too exhausted to cook after running around with the kids all day. However, we are on a pretty tight budget since I'm not working so we really don't eat out that often. It's mostly fast food or some sort of take out if we do. On those very rare occasions when my husband and I get a night to ourselves then we can indulge at a restaurant since it is way too much of a hassle to bring my kids to one. They do not have the patience to sit there quietly and wait for food yet so it becomes more stressful than enjoyable and not worth the money.

We eat at home most of the time.  My husband and I like to go out to eat as our "date night".

We also will order in pizza when we have a lazy night.

My family mostly cook at home but I do enjoy eating out.  We eat out mayby 2 or 3 times a month.  Eating out can be expensive if you are trying to cut back but sometimes I just dont cook or want to get out of the house with family.  I do not mind cooking and would love to cook everyday but I do not know what to cook or how to cook it.

i love to cook so i do but also love going out for dinner but most of the time we go out for dinner twice a month

Oh, I love to go out to eat, but it's getting rather expensive lately and I have become so lazy for some reason! Haha!
Well, anyways I usually cook about 5 times a week and my family eats out on the weekends about 2-3 times. I have been looking for some recipes online to do, like easy ones or ones to do with cooking with a crock-pot. The only thing that bothers me there is sometimes you need a whole bunch of ingredients and it costs a fortune just to get all of them!
But on the other hand the recipes are so delicious. I recently made a chili cornbread recipe from Jiffy and it was so good and only required 5 ingredients which only cost me about $4.....can't go wrong there.
I am really trying to get my family and I to not eat out so much so we can save money......it is one difficult feat to hover over....HaHa!  :P

It is a lot cheaper to eat at home so going out for food is pretty special. About once a month or so if that.

I eat at home during the week and eat out once on the weekends.  I try to eat healthier during the week and then enjoy eating out the one time.
