    How often do you and your family order take-out food? When you do, what do you generally decide on?

    Very rarely these days since I relocated. However I used to live literally walking distance from many restaurants, and at the time wasn't able to drive, so I was ordering from them quite regularly. It was expensive, but still way cheaper than calling taxi's all the time. I would try to order stuff that would last me for several meals, so I would mainly order Chinese takeout, but occasionally some Greek & Italian food.

    The Chinese takeout was the best value in my opinion. They sold these BBQ (Char Siu?) pork strips as an appetizer, but honestly, once you opened the container and dumped it out, there was enough there for like 4 meals. So I could get a pint of house fried rice and a pint of that pork and be good to go for the next couple days. Either that, or I would get the dinner size portion of Kung Pao Chicken/Shrimp with fried rice and egg rolls. That too would last a long time.

    Otherwise I would get a large pizza or a large Gryo & Fries and eat that over the course of a few days. I also liked these places in particular, because they sold two liters of soda, which saved me a trip to the store.
