Does food with happy hour count? Or is that just "going out"? Probably two to three times a week then.

2 - 3 times per week

Not takeout, how often to do eat out, and actually sit down at a restaurant? How much do you usually spend? Who are you with?

It depends, usually if I have to meet up with people based on the level of importance. Usually, spend less than $200.

Pretty much the same for me. I’m realizing i eat way too much takeout and delivery, and probably spending too much money on food. Been slowly slowing down how often I get takeout recently.

I can be the same but what is the point of making $$$$$$ if you cannot enjoy??

I made a New Year’s resolution to cut down on Uber Eats delivery for myself and have been good so far this year.

1-2x a week. I've gotten particularly nasty at cooking (I was forced to take a 'couples cooking class' by my fiance and it went surprisingly well) so I've been trying to make shit at home. Instapot is a lifesaver for when I'm not wanting to do any real work but can just throw a bunch of shit in there and it turns out like a solid meal. I'll usually go out on a Thurs-Sat with some of my friends or with my fiance, but other than that I pretty much eat at home - especially for dinner. Lunch is more of an eat-out experience usually, I may grab something fast-casual (Chipotle, McAllisters, Cava, etc.) so dinner I come back to the apartment and whip something up

 

I need to learn to cook more meals. I can do a few basic things, but nothing too exciting. Would definitely help me eat healthier.

Cooking is overrated unless you fall into the top high end chef group.
