For us, we need to think about how many opportunities there are in a given week. Let's say there are 7 days in a week and 3 meals per day (not counting random, off-cycle stops to grab something quick because you missed a meal somewhere). So that is 21 opportunities per week. On that scale, I would say we (the family) eats out at least 10 times per week. That would be once per day, plus a dinner or two and a breakfast on the weekend.

Far too much, in my mind, but my wife doesn't like to cook, and I don't have time. I do cook (and enjoy it) on weekends sometimes, but that's about it. I agree with everything JYL said, but I don't think my wife and kids see it that way, and most of the time they are on their own while I am at work.

Good topic...
