Asking the question as it seems to be a recurrent issue among finance-aware people.

Also if people have tips to save money on eating out or cooking, feel free to share!

I eat out only once or twice a month and usually it’s with friends or family if we do go out.

Reasons to go out include socializing or trying foods I wouldn’t cook at home.

Reasons I tend to prefer pickup rather than dining in the restaurant include a better atmosphere at home and not having to deal with the hassle of tipping which jacks up the cost of food by 20% or more.
