Do you eat out more during then week or do you cook for yourself more? Going to the supermarket frequently and all of those things.

bout half and half if you count lunch. Eat out at lunch just about every day at work. Cook dinner almost every night unless my gf and I go out for a nice dinner or are lazy and order in (3-4 times a month).

I try to cook for myself as often as possible, even if it just comes down to warming up a serving of cream of chicken soup or something. $1/ meal versus $4 or $6 just can't be beat.

When I was younger I used to eat out a lot but now I look at the mutants that work at most places I'd rather just go to the store and get my own stuff. :)

When I was down at college I ate in the cafeteria every day. Now that I'm back home I cook for myself for almost every meal.

In the week I've been home I've made egg salad, deviled eggs, chili-cheese dip, steak, macaroni salad, grilled cheese, ham & cheese sandwiches, hot sauce (salsa), mac & cheese, chicken nuggets...

I eat out probably 50% of the time, the rest is either made by my mom or myself.

No I'm fortunate enough to have a great deal with my SO,in winter I cook a lot,in summer he grills.The man's grilled veggies taste better than anything I've ever eaten in a restaurant.
 

I cook for myself and my boy every day of the week, once in awhile I will treat him to a burger and fries at the local drive in.

definitely eat out. I love cooking, but hate doing the dishes.

my roommate and I have been thinking about hiring a cleaning lady, once we move into our new place, to come by twice a week to vacum, dust, and do the dishes :p

That's not bad. I think I've spent maybe $60 on food this last month, $120 if you count dining out.
