A lot of people simply do not cook. On special occasions, they may throw a Stouffer’s Lasagna in the microwave. Just like Mama used to make.

Factor in cost of food, time of prep, cleanup, cost of
Prep, tips,quality of ingredients, uncontrolled fats and salt in take out, time to wait for delivery, not knowing if prep people were hygienic...probably better to cook at home.

My wife and I spend around $300 a year on take out.

Take out is not healthy eating.

Bogus #’s. I do not spend 120.00 Dollars per week at the grocery and eat like a King (Thank you God!) and even end up stock piling staple items. It’s a shame these needless articles that defy monetary logic....but their are a lot of fool’s in our republic.

Zero. No one delivers to a good address, only city addresses.

Maybe half a dozen delivered orders to our house within a year. We are not in that demographic.

We usually go out to eat at a Restaurant once a week, fast food Never, once in a while take out pizza.

We neither buy nor eat pre-processed foods either, my Wife cooks and prepares everything fresh, we even make our own pasta and bread, grow a lot of vegetables, fruit trees and with over a dozen chickens we never run out of eggs.

When I was home recuperating from a recent hospital operation, I spent $1200 in one month on Door Dash delivery, didn't feel strong enough to cook for myself.

Hardly ever use them now but I do eat out frequently.

No one delivers where I live. I am a bit into the country. Maybe a pizza place somewhere will but haven’t had food delivered since moving out to the sticks.

I live so far from the nearest restaurant the food would be stone cold before I got it home.

Yuck. After the Hep A outbreak here that spread among the restaurants and fastfood places, cooking at home is advised.

Besides, we love to cook....and eat well.

I have only ever once had food delivered. I was on Nantucket (no jokes please) when Hurricane Bob was threatening in 1991, and standing by the landline phone for a slot on a ferry to the mainland. I didn’t want to miss my slot, so I had pizza delivered.

We get stuff delivered almost every Friday. Nice way to end the week. Especially in this modern world with Uber and Doordash and whatever. You just tell your phone to bring you food and walla, food appears. Awesome stuff.

No delivery of any ‘fast food’ where I live. I wouldn’t eat it, anyway.

We either raise it, fish for it, grow it or kill it and grill it. ;)

I don't do delivery, but I will occasionally go out to pick up a pizza or a Whataburger.

Otherwise, I cook.

We have take-out about once a month, now that I think about it. Chinese, pizza, or the fried fish place. Depends on how many of us are getting together, probably averages $100 or so each time.
