Brits spend £15.3 billion on takeaways each year
The average fast food fan will scoff a takeaway meal at least 25 times a year - spending £13.03 on each occasion, it has been found.
This adds up to an annual bill of £325.75 - or a massive £15,310,250,000 across the 47 million adults in the UK.
And this is despite a reported 43 per cent cutting back on the number of takeaways they consume during the credit crunch.
A study of 2,000 families found that Chinese is now the nation's favourite takeaway, followed by Indian and a pizza.
We don't think they meant they enjoy a Chinese followed by an Indian in the same night - but with the current obesity levels in the UK, who knows.
Thirty eight percent of people said they regularly couldn't be bothered to cook due to their hectic lifestyles.
More than half of those polled said they love takeaways - while 40 per cent said they were a real treat, while 17 per cent said they loved the taste.
Friday night is the most popular night of the week for convenience food for 41 per cent of people, followed by Saturday for 32 per cent.
A spokesperson for Aldi, which commissioned the study, said: "The survey shows Brits are spending huge amounts of money on takeaways despite the fact there are tasty convenience meals out there to suit hectic lifestyles which don't require customers to compromise on quality."
