Ordering Take-aways To Your Residence.

Biggins · 07-01-2009 06:26PM #1

With things going there way they are economy-wise, will it (or has it effected) your ordering of home deliveries of fast food?

How many would you order in a month, to be delivered to your home?
Can you see those numbers changing dramatically?

4zn76tysfajdxp · 07-01-2009 06:27PM

I've only ever done it once, and that was about five months ago. So no, not really.

Yeah I regularily ordear tayke awayes. No affekt on me whatsoeveur.

stovelid · 07-01-2009 06:30PM

I usually only order in if I'm alone with my kid. Quicker to pop down and get it myself anyway.

Mark200 · 07-01-2009 06:31PM

The only time we get a take-away is if we're getting Dominoes pizza because they're both in Swords, which I don't live in. That would be maybe once every two months or something, if even that. Besides that, only when I'm in a friends house and loads of people are ordering I might get something with that order too. That might be twice a month.

The recession hasn't changed a single thing in my immediate life.

I Prob would have had between 6-8 a Month but savin for a wedding now so it down to at most two. Not really to do with the economy though

Biggins · 07-01-2009 06:33PM

I ask because I saw a news report that these type of business are apparently picking up where other businesses are declining.
Just wondering if this is true as far as others know...

MIN2511 · 07-01-2009 06:34PM

I don't think i have ordered take away in over a year. Not mad on chinese and if its not Domino's it's not good enough-besides all the cheese and calories in them keep me away.

and what about takeaways?

Sorry

Friday night is my takeaway night. Lucan has Roma, Dominoes, plenty of chinese ones.

The Tasty ftw!

jester77 · 07-01-2009 06:36PM

I'm still ordering a couple of times a week!

themadchef · 07-01-2009 06:37PM

Should be an "I live in isolation" option.

Some nights i would give anything for a decent take away. 50 miles for an Indian is way too far to go. Needless to say, no such thing as delivery

Do you live in North Pole?

Its only a few mins up the road from me, The walk will make you not feel bad about eating chips.

yup - saw this alright.

I think those that got the occasional chipper / chinese / pizza may actually cut down a small bit, and get cheaper frozen foods in, but it's the people who'd usually go out to restaurants that are helping the industry by staying at home more and ordering in the food - and thus seeing it as a saving on food, drink and possible taxies etc...

So I'd imagine the restaurant industry are in the sh*t... So many of those 'Gormet' Burger places are in for a tough year I'd imagine. Seems to be so many of that type of thing around over the past couple of years.

I don't think I've ever even done that more than say...five times. I've obviously eaten at fast food restaurants (McDonalds, Supermacs etc.) hundreds of times but not since september when I went back to college. I never get takaways, there's always food at home.

towel401 · 07-01-2009 06:41PM

Never

but its well worth the 10 mile drive and back for some supermacs chips + garlicsauce

yea i know the garlic sauce is full of spunk but I don't care it tastes good.

giddybootz · 07-01-2009 06:42PM

i think these places will actually do better in the recession as people will stop going to restaurants but still want a night of cooking so takeaways will act as the happy medium.

we would order about twice a week if ya average it out and only reason i see that changing is coz we are going on a new year new diet thing!!

an ex housemate used to order the exact same thing from Apache EVERY night!! literally 7 nights a week!!

me too. i was trying to cut out ordering deliveries but a new indian opened up down the road from me so i know ill be ordering from them once a week, possibly more

bythewoods · 07-01-2009 06:47PM

What about the "I don't eat take aways" Option?

It can work out cheaper to eat healthily y'know.

I think some of that could be down to the general feel-bad factor and people trying to eat themselves happy.

Diabhal Beag · 07-01-2009 06:49PM

BOOOOOO!!!!

That kind of talk is for the Ladies Lounge

AnonoBoy · 07-01-2009 06:57PM

I rarely get take aways delivered. Maybe 5 or 6 times a year at most.

I make my own dinners a lot, make more than I need and then freeze the left overs.

omb0wyn5ehpij9 · 07-01-2009 07:00PM

I'd only order to the house about once a month, so cant see that changing. Usually if i want take away, i will go and collect it myself

Holsten · 07-01-2009 07:00PM

Havent had any fast food in yonks.

Parents would get some stuff around 2-3 times a month.

would order in maybe 3 to 4 times a month, either dominos, local pizza/italian, or the chipper, can't see the recession changing that

No, but, it's cold enough.

My sister often rings me to tell me she's having a Chinese delivered or pizza. Most of the time you forget. But if youve been on the beer....

toasted sandwich ftw.

Podge2k7 · 07-01-2009 07:14PM

There is a chipper and chinese just up the road so i never get anythng delivered,I just walk up to them.!

Ponster · 07-01-2009 07:49PM

Once a month but I get a much bigger choice than just the typical pizza/Aisian food and it's often not "fast food" but expensive "slow food" that is no different than eating out except you eat in
