Brits will rely on takeaways until festive period is over - as they

 

British adults will be relying on takeaway meals until the festive period is over – because they are too busy to cook up anything from scratch.

A study of 2,000 adults found exactly half will spend more at their local chippy or curry house than usual.

Almost a third (31 percent) claim they don’t have time to pull together a meal along with everything else they have to do.

And a further 26 percent say they’ll opt for an easy pizza or Chinese over home-cooked grub when entertaining during the next couple of months.

Meanwhile 30 percent simply like to treat themselves more at this time of year, and 28 percent don’t have the energy to get in front of the stove.

The research was carried out by frozen pizza brand Chicago Town, which has also created an online calculator to help takeaway fans save money in the lead up to Christmas.

Treating others is the main motivation for buying takeaways at this time of year – but for 24 percent it is convenience, and 17 percent know they’ll likely be tired and not want to cook over the next few weeks.

One in 20 say it’s a great time to get fast food as they’re not good at cooking any way, and one in ten know they won’t have the time to cook meals themselves.

And 59 percent simply love getting food to eat in, with the average adult ordering a takeaway at least once a week.

However, more takeaways can have an impact on the pocket, with the average one costing around £23 each time.

It emerged one fifth of adults find it hard to stick to a budget this time of year.

And six in ten adults admit they find the financial pressures of the season can affect their mood during the festive period.

But the new calculator could help shoppers save around £20 a week just by changing meal options.

Thrifty influencer Gemma Bird, who partnered with Chicago Town, said: “My family and I switched our usual Saturday night pizza takeaway and we were blown away.

“We worked out that we could save as much as £150 over the next five weeks.

“Christmas is such a magical time for everyone, particularly families – but money troubles and making ends meet, particularly right now, can give many of us sleepless nights.

“Making little changes like this can literally save families hundreds of pounds.”
