staying in

Remaining at home

Staying in means remaining at home rather than going out, especially for social or leisure activities.

The phrase implies a deliberate choice to skip restaurants, bars, parties, or other outings: We're staying in tonight and ordering pizza.

It often suggests comfort or relaxation over the effort of going somewhere.
