Do any of you get into a feeding rut at times? Do you particularly enjoy/hate it?

As stated above. I can go months without eating an egg, for example, and suddenly crave eggs benedict for breakfast everyday.
Good thing is my dietitian is aware of this executive dysfunction/quirk/habit and works closely with me to help me out planning meals in a way that works me.
Right now I am on a soup kick: Soup, soup, soup everyday, all day.

I can do that since I love certain foods but my wife absolutely cannot. She’s the exact opposite. She won’t make the same thing within a month. The closest she’ll come is left overs because she doesn’t want it to go to waste. The good thing out of that is that she’s learned to make a massive variety of foods from all over the world so we eat better than average. The downside is that we often have better food at home, it’s rare when a restaurant can out cook her, so we don’t eat out as often. Saves us a ton of money though.

"my wife cooks me better food than restaurants, somehow this is a bad thing"
I know how it sounds, but it is kinda frustrating (in a #firstworldproblems way). We have the same issue, and there just soemthing that feels like a nice treat about going out to a restaurant, and it kinda spoils it if you feel "meh, it would be been nicer to just eat at home". But overall, defintely happy with the situation!
I believe they call that ~ ~ a m b i e n c e ~ ~
Yeah, we’re cheap. Also, our ambiance at home is top notch too so …
You lucky dog!
Her mother was an amazing cook so I can’t say it didn’t help influence my decision to marry her. I am indeed blessed to be with her.
This happens in my house. I love to cook and like variety, different things all the time. When I want something I make it, everyone else is kinda just along for the ride. Like to eat out too but we do that once every couple months. Not entirely sure it's saving that much money but good food is worth something too.
We have 3 kids. We probably save $50+ every meal by eating at home.
We are down to 2 now (blended family, most we had at home at once was 7, with 4 of those teenagers, who can EAT but can also work part time so cost is offset). You are probably right, I just made a decision to not squinch on groceries, that's not where we try to save money so it always feels indulgent. I do grow some food, more for health/quality than savings.
But yeah we went out last night (just the two of us) for supper and a drink and it set us back about 4 whole days of groceries, that's 4 breakfasts, 12 lunches, 16 suppers (not everyone eats every meal, but we all eat supper together usually). So yes. Even with expensive groceries we can feed 4 for the price of 1, same quality food.
