Food clicky poll

How often do you eat out? Is it more or less since you've been pregnant?[Poll]

Definitely more since I've been pregnant.  I used to cook every meal and we'd eat out once every week or two.  When morning sickness hit all day in the first tri, the only thing I could stomach were baked potatoes so there were lots of Wendy's trips for me (while I still cooked for DH and DD).  Now I'm just too busy to cook a lot of nights.  I'm directing RENT and we're in the final 2 weeks of the production so I often don't have time to make dinner before I leave for rehearsal.  DH will still make something for DD, but I find myself stopping for fast food more often than I'd like.  At least it's mostly potatoes and salads, still not great though.

We are definitely eating out more.  I used to cook every night and we would have leftovers for lunches but now I am just tired some nights or we're out of the house doing something and grab food while we're out.  So we eat out once a week maybe?  I have tried to start napping when I get home, then I will wake up and cook dinner by the time H gets home.  That has helped.

I voted for once a month but it is probably more than that, just def not once a week.  DH and I don't go to dinner much anymore..its usually lunch because lunch is cheaper and now that I am a SAHM things are tight.  Luckily for us our parents take us out more often than we can afford to take ourselves lol.  When DD was younger we went once a week to get out of the house but we just can't afford that anymore..it was important for me to get her used to being out to eat though early on, I want to be able to enjoy my time out and my meal and I am lucky that she loves it and sits nicely in her chair the whole time (for now) haha.  The key after kids are born and old enough to eat their own plate is to find the restaurants that kids eat free at on certain days!

Thanks-I added more to the poll in between once a month and once a week

We used to eat out once every couple of weeks...actually more often we'd order pizza in.  We eat out way more than that now.  For a while when I wanted dinner, I wanted it now before I got sick feeling again and about the only way to do that was to eat out.  Now that I'm feeling better we've stopped eating out as much. Also, its nice to be able to cook again because I really like doing it.

...but now pizza sounds good for dinner.

I mean anything but cooking your own food...Fast food or going out to a sit down restaurant.

Probably once a week most of the time some weeks maybe twice. We have gotten better in recent weeks as I have gotten farther along in the pregnancy. I have a little more energy plus I am trying to eat healthier. But some days after working a full day it is just easier to eat out. But with us being in the process of buying a house that to has made us try to save every penny we've got too.
