I only eat out when I don't have any packed lunch with me or I have not eaten breakfast before I go to school. That and sometimes I just have the urge to eat out. I try to eat out less now because I'm trying to save up for a new laptop, new figures or some other things I want to buy x_x

Being Vegan I cook for myself as here in Indiana there aren't many places that offer a Vegan item on their menu, let alone an entire meal set.

I hardly ever eat out, and if I do I drive an hour south to Indianapolis and get myself some WB Vegan pizza. Best pizza I've ever had.

I'm not very good with the cooking, so I have to eat out more then I would like. Does fast food count as eating out? Cause that happens more then it should.

not often, maybe once a week or even a month.

Usually eat at home cuz more comfortable (either cook at home or takeaway food) cuz can watch anime or dorama while having dinner :3

There isn't really any places to eat out where I live (theres a crappy pizzeria but you have to drive 10km to get there and they're no good anyway) so it only happens when I'm out travelling somewhere. So I guess it's once a month or so.

Eating out is normal for me since I have neither the skill nor time to devote to actually cooking anything good to eat.  I suppose I could save a lot more money by staying and maybe even buying a week's forth of pre-made meals, but I generally enjoy the food I get while I'm out than the cardboard meals that come out of the grocer's freezer.

Any more just a few take out places that make real food is the only safe food to eat here. The people started adding 'special extras' which were not on the list to fast food so I avoid the fast food places like the plague now in Texas.

Its very expensive for me to eat out so I'm trying to do it less. I'm very cheap though so even though I eat out like 5 times a week I only spend like 20 dollars. Its a lot considering I don't plan on getting a job until at least Fall 09.

Subway has this 5 dollar for a foot long sandwich deal so I usually share one with someone.

When I'm at college, though, I usually just eat the cafeteria food, the pizza is normally very good.

I'm poor because I eat out so much.  There's...tension in my house so I don't like to be here very often.  That of course leads me to being out and about with friends and the such which usually ends up meaning getting food at some point in time.  There's not much better then pancakes at iHop at 2 in the morning. ^.^

I changed careers so with that less money to eat out. However, I noticed I'm less fat than I used to be, so it's not all bad. Non-home prepared food packs in the calories. That isn't saying that I don't miss eating out; I do.

Last weekend had lunch with my ex which was fun, and the next day went lunching and dining with an old friend in Amsterdam.
So I guess I do eat out quite alot.

Food is so plentiful and great in Japan it's hard to keep from eating out often.  When I'm by myself -like I am right now- I eat out at least twice a week.  When my wife is here we often eat out on the weekends as well.  Just like chun said don't need to bother cooking and then need to clean up afterwards.

Unfortunately, I eat out 7 days a week. =.='''
My parents have to go out at 5 am in the morning to start preparing our food store. As for me, i have to go out at 7.20 am to travel to school. If i have the time to prepare breakfast, i would rather sleep more. Usually, i don't eat lunch, will combine lunch and dinner. Then my school ends around 4, when i will have lunch+dinner with my friends.

I used to eat out twice a day four days a week when I worked as a field technician for a DBS provider.  When I worked out of market for two - four weeks I would eat out 3 times a day 7 days a week on the company dime so needless to say I ate very well.  During the last 4 months of that career I was forced to eat out 3 times a day as I was working 20 hours a day on average, now the only time I eat out is with my family once a week or less.
