On an average week, how often would you say you eat in restaurants or pick up food and drink to go?

How often would you say you eat outside of the home (purchased food from an establishment)? Please include restaurants for eat in or take out, fast food (Panera, McD’s, etc.), picking up coffee (Starbucks, Dunkin, other coffee shop), smoothies, donuts, bagels, pizza, sandwiches, take out for your work lunch, picking up a pizza or other food for dinner?

I saw an article a few weeks ago about how people are eating out more than ever before.

I am remembering when I was little (1970s), we’d eat in a restaurant for a special occasion, like when I graduated from high school or for a birthday, but we weren’t always getting takeout food and my mom wasn’t getting coffee daily like is popular now. This is partly because there weren’t such opportunities, there was not a Starbucks or Dunkin everywhere, like there is now. We would sometimes go to lunch in the village we lived in (fancy little village with fancy places) or we might occasionally get McDonalds on a weekend.
