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!

We eat out about once every 2 weeks. We used to eat out quite a bit as I got really bored of the food at home.

I do really enjoy cooking, but its hard to come up with meal ideas. We then started getting meal kits (Gousto) and now we're really happy to eat at home as the meals are fresh, easy to cook and always different. I could get the ingredients cheaper, but its very convenient as a meal kit and theres no waste.

Because the meal kits are very tasty, it does mean however when we do go out we find cheaper places are now poor quality, so will go somewhere nicer to eat. Still cheaper than eating out as much as we did before though!
