Decided to be thefridayfive-y today

[conuly]

1. Do you mostly prepare your meals at home or do you eat out more?

Mostly prepare at home unless there is a lot of stress going on, in which case hahahahahaha.

2. Is there a time of day when you are more likely to buy food already prepared?

The midweek dinner rush.

3. What is your average weekly grocery bill (for how many people)? What is your total restaurant/fast food bill for an average week?

$150-ish for 5 people, not counting extras and snacks or pet food. Not sure what the average eat-out bill is, I'd have to see what Jenn's budget is for that as well.

4. What is your favorite meal to prepare at home?

To prepare? Baked potatoes. Easy to cook, and everybody likes them. To eat? This pasta sauce with blue cheese that I'm the only one who likes it.

5. What is your favorite meal to order in a restaurant?

ALL THE MEALS. Honestly, though, doesn't that depend on the type of restaurant?

Hmm, mine is:

1. Prepare 98% of meals at home, since I can't eat sugar and wheat + I'm poor anyway so I can't afford to eat pre-made stuff every day.

2. If I'm hungry when I go to the store it's super likely I'll buy pre-made food (usually sushi, rice balls or baked sweet potato), or if I didn't pack enough food for lunch.

3. Grocery store food for two people is around $91 a week but I could cut it down a little if I needed to. I tend to buy luxuries like cheese, don't buy "only" stuff that's on sale, and we drink $2-3 a day in carbonated water, all of which raises the price. But our grocery bills tend to be half that or less than of other people's just because we eat almost no pre-made food.

"Eating out" (usually meaning, grabbing something pre-made at a store when we're hungry downtown) for two people is an average of $13.50 a week apparently. Lower than I thought.

4. To prepare, pressure-cooked sweet potatoes... To eat, it's a tie between fried dried sweet potato, or spring rolls (meat, vegetables, miso, natto, egg, dried garlic flakes), or pulled chicken/pork.

5. I can't order anything at most restaurants (especially not on my budget) but out of what I can and have tried, I'd say salt-flavored shish kabab.

You should definitely crosspost that in the comm, either by making a comment there or by posting in your journal and linking, as I did :)
