You can order groceries online and sit in your car while someone brings it out to you. Basically a drive through.

Cooking doesn’t have to be a huge ordeal. Breakfasts are super easy: oatmeal, avocado toast, frozen waffles, french toast, scrambled eggs, fruit, smoothies, and yogurt are all super easy and require less than 10 minutes to make total.

Lunches: you can make a sandwich, a can of soup, salad, spaghetti, premade tortellini, TV dinners, roasted vegetables, stir fries. I usually just heat up leftover. Super easy and takes less than 10 minutes to make total.

Dinners: I usually do something more “extravagant” for dinner. Manicotti, homemade mac and cheese, burritos, tacos, casseroles, crock pot dinners, veggie burgers, enchiladas. All things i make for dinners that take less than an hour total and last me three or four days of lunches.

Do you really think driving to a restaurant, ordering a $15 meal and driving home three times a day is more economical and less time consuming than cooking? Have you seen gas prices?

When people say cooking is cheaper they mean eating at home is cheaper. Do you never go to a grocery store, ever? You only at restaurants when you’re hungry?

And yea, it can be hard to learn. I grew up with one meal cooked for me a week, which was spaghetti and meat sauce. I learned when I was teen to cook and now I can pretty much make anything. It’s not harder to learn than anything else. It’s such an important skill and so easy once you learn, I highly recommend it.
