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!

    My partner and I are mid-40s, and our meals go like this:

    1. Cooking at home
    2. Delivery
    3. Pick-up/take-away that we pick up from the place ourselves and then eat at home
    4. Eat out at restaurant

    Reason being for all this:

    I enjoy cooking

    Partner and I both have no issue eating the same thing for dinner ever day for a week or more, so I make a huge portion and then we eat it for an entire week/until it’s totally gone

    Delivery costs are expensive, even before tip

    Partner and I both have dietary restrictions that make ordering from somewhere difficult when they’re not clear about what ingredients they’re using

    We save a ton of money by cooking at home
