Some random Google hits suggest that you can hire a personal chef for something like $13 a meal if you shop around. That's certainly in the right ballpark for someone to reevaluate how they're navigating this particular time/money tradeoff.
I currently live a few blocks away from various restaurants. It takes me at most half an hour to eat out (from the time I head out to the time I come back), and I pay an average of $8 per meal I eat this way. How long does it take you to prepare a meal, how much money do the ingredients cost per meal, and how long do you spend eating it?
it generally takes me about half an hour to 45 minutes to make and eat food, and the cost is usually something like 5-8 dollars.
Almost any place I go to for food would take half an hour to get and eat food before you count travel time, so I guess your choices are a lot faster and closer than anything to me, as well as being cheaper (I generally pay 13 or so dollars when eating out). Are you counting places like mcdonalds?
I guess I don't view it as having a personal chef if they make meals and then freeze them, but that's still cheaper than I would've assumed.
I live in Berkeley and there are various relatively cheap and fast restaurants (not chains) catering to the university crowd here, so I might be in a relatively good situation in that regard.
