when did you last go out for a meal/have a takeaway?

Believe it or not I prefer to make Kebabs i think. Unless it is very good from recipes to hygiene.

Not surprising! You ever seen inside those takeaways?! But yet for whatever reason they still look appealing when you're on the way home from a pub. The drunker you are the more appealing...!!! :rotfl:

Does anyone else find that they are more "stingy" when making meals for themselves?

For example, I've noticed I'll happily spend £12 on a pizza from dominos, but I hate spending £3.50 on the chicago town "takeaway" pizzas from tescos because I can buy a pizza for £1.50 from tescos, this is despite the fact that the chicago town ones taste as nice as dominos ones and I should probably look at them as saving me ordering out rather than replacing a £1.50 pizza....

Don't like Domino's so don't have that issue. But still have to agree. Our usual would be £1.50 frozen from Tesco's, but when we're having a proper pizza night we 'splash out' on the 2 for £4 fresh ones outta Asda!!! :rotfl:

Very unusually 3 times in the last 5 days!! Thurs lunch at the pub with OH, fri tea in ikea with the kids and sun all of us had Thai buffet.

Thurs was a celebration, Fri was planned as a bribe to keep dd quiet whilst we boguht new office furniture and Sun was totally spontaneous but also celebratory. I did think after we shoudl have planned it better and got some vouchers beforehand!!

We very rarely have takeaway - oh might get a dominios as a treat if I'm out but I much prefer to eat out or cook myself.

Where are the best Kebab houses in the UK? I know New York has one which I would go to if I ever went but in UK, London, elsewhere??

Drunk punters should not have to put up with unhygienic Kebab Shops, getting wasted? is worth more. Mind you it is probably a good combination to relieve drunkeness?

£12 is easy to spend on yourself if you care for yourself.
I can think of a few items I would get Takeaway that would cost me £12.
Fish and Chips £6, a lovely ready made desert £3 and an iced coffee to take me over £12 mark.

A week last Sunday for a Chinese takeaway. And it was disappointing, apart from the lemongrass chicken satay.

No takeaways allowed this month as there's a few too many outgoings this month. In fact I'm making a real effort to use up some of my stock cupboard. There's a large bag of basmati rice that needs eating!

We used to have a weekly takeaway - now reduced to monthly,we put the savings towards our holiday (£9.50 sun deals!) We eat out every couple of months and use the local Fayre and square,2 meals for a tenner - and I have a £5 voucher for that this week!!:beer:
