My boyfriend (20) and I (18) have been living together for 2 years in an urban apartment. For us, it usually goes like this:

  1. Delivery
  2. Eating out
  3. Cooking at home

We visit our parents (and they visit us) often, and they give us lots of home-cooked food. We mostly cook at home just for fun.

I’m curious what it’s like for other people, especially in different age groups or family setups!

    Same here. Except pizza. I’ll get that delivered, because it doesn’t involve a third party.

    Id like to go out more often, but nowadays, I can’t take my family out to eat for under $100.

      I have a different point of view. Pizza is one of those things that’s easy and cheap to make myself, so I make that myself.

      On the rare occasion I do order or go out to eat, I prefer food I can’t cook myself very well, like persian or asian food.

      because it doesn’t involve a third party.

      Man, the rationales some people have for why they let some people rip them off but not others is mind-boggling.

      Really reinforces my opinion of the average person.

      I can’t take my family out to eat for under $100.

      Are you in fucking Belize? Do you have a family of at least 8? Are you horrible with money?

      Or maybe this is just hyperbole.

        It’s about $75, plus tip for two people to eat anywhere that’s not “fast casual” where I am- California Bay Area. A “nice” restaurant it would be considerably more.

          So it’s hyperbole.

          You’re literally ignoring the restaurants that don’t help you support your argument.

          Shit is insanely overpriced, especially in the entitled and privileged area that you live. You don’t need to lie about costs.

        I’m not really sure what your point is, but we are a blended family, so yeah, there’s a lot of us.

        Sure, I could get $5 Biggie Bags at Wendy’s for everyone for under $100, but if we’re going out it’s because we WANT to, not because we need to shovel the cheapest food we can find into our mouths. We got Chinese on Friday. After tip it was a little over $100, and we didn’t even have all the kids with us. Which is why we only go out once or twice a month. The rest of the time, were cooking at home, or in case of emergencies, order $40 worth of pizza.

          Ok well, the point was that you can eat at a restaurant as a family for under $100.
