Do you like to cook or do you rather just prefer to eat out ? I prefer cooking but sometimes when I am stressed, I would use the alternative. That is the only time it makes sense to eat out. If I have the strength, I don't hesitate to cook my meal myself. Home-cooked food taste very special, especially when you add the sauce appropriately.
 
I like most of what I cook, but sometimes I lay an egg. o_O
Eating out has become a pastime for the rich & famous; and from what little I've seen of it lately with prices becoming outrageous, quality and quantity have both suffered....making it a less worthwhile experience.
 
I enjoy both because they each have their pros and cons. Eating out is fantastic because you skip the meal prep, cooking, and cleaning up. It’s also a great way to relax and socialise. However, the biggest con is the cost.

On the other hand, I really enjoy cooking because it’s cheaper and gives me full control over my likes and dislikes. Plus, there are specific dishes I love that I simply can’t find in restaurants, so the only way to eat them is to cook them myself. I admit I hardly eat out lately for various reasons. While I wish I could go out more often, I still genuinely enjoy eating at home. So, for me, it's really a mix of both.
 
I hate cooking and would order out every day if I could, but that's not feasible so I need to cool a little. Often times I rely on frozen meals and cereal.
