Maybe $30 a month if that on what I class as Takeaway - so food you buy ready to eat and eat at home. Very very rarely do we grab food to eat on the run from a takeaway - only if there is no sit down options around. Some months we don't have Takeaway at all. However we do eat out a fair bit, maybe once a week sometimes more, usually using a entertainment book voucher or a shop a docket - so I think maybe $200 a month on eating out. In my book that is different to takeaway though because eating out is about more than the food itself - it is the outing, the surroundings etc and is normally part of a trip somewhere. Probably have coffee out maybe 4 times a week. So that is about maybe $80 a month - but again the act of sitting in a cafe and having the coffee is an event too more than the just the coffee. My mum always goes on about the coffee but I don't spend anything else, I hate shopping and apart from food shopping rarely buy anything so that is my treat. Eating out is something we love doing as a family so I don't feel is excessive or is something need to cut down on - and if you like Takeaway and have it as an 'event' then why not.

So in response to the OP, I wouldn't try to stop takeaway completely, I would just identify on which occasions you get most enjoyment out of it and try and cut it back to those - make having it an event/treat however frequently you decide and just try to eliminate the times when you are having it out of habit.
