We've never had takeout since I've been with dearie. Where we have lived since we've known each other, has been always close to restaurants, cafes. So it made more sense for us to eat out in the restaurant itself and often pay same price as takeout food, but have the restaurant staff do serving and clean up dishes instead.

For cost-savings reasons we only eat out once a week for dinner in our home town at places for $10-15 per person.

Our home isn't super clean, just organized to keep us happy, efficient and clean. We do a massive clean job only occasionally, I admit. We do laundry about every 2-3 wks. Unlike some people, I wear a shirt or pants several times before throwing it in wash.

Earlier in this post, I commented how rarely I do fashion shopping. Well it's just grocery shopping and going to drugstore for toilerties that I appreciate.
