My boyfriend (20) and I (18) have been living together for 2 years in an urban apartment. For us, it usually goes like this:
- Delivery
- Eating out
- Cooking at home
We visit our parents (and they visit us) often, and they give us lots of home-cooked food. We mostly cook at home just for fun.
I’m curious what it’s like for other people, especially in different age groups or family setups!
Delivery and eating out is so much more expensive than cooking at home, especially today.
My (34M) partner (33M) can only cook a few dishes, so I handle most of the cooking. I’m usually doing a big batch of lunches and dinners for the work week on the weekends and then whip up a quick dinner when I get home after work during the week. Summer is easier for this since I can grill a burger and some veggies to mix things up fairly easily.
We get delivery as a treat, last night I got a buncha Chinese dishes delivered to share with the roommates as we’d been drinking on the deck half the day.
I’ll eat out mostly for dates, but occasionally if work is really stressful or there’s something to celebrate, there’s about 3 local restaurants I really like that I’ll grab lunch at for myself or the team.
