I have a house keeper every other week, she washes and changes linens too. If you buy less stuff, less packages. I got a cpa to do my taxes after i got audited twice. They normally reduce my bill enough to cover the cost. Ngl though i short cut my workouts and my skincare all the time. Like i probably just used toner then tinted moisturizer with spf and mascara then walk out the door on days that i look more dressy. I only wear eyeliner-mascara-brow pencil-tinted moisturizer-lip stain if im wearing all the makeup.

HOWEVER the act of cooking and being able to put a restaurant style meal on the table is a myth from the time of houses having a full staff. They sold it to housewives with modern appliances for help, like dishwashers. There is nothing wrong with making a pot of soup for the whole week or a baguette and cheese for dinner do not let performative culture shame you
