If I want to make let's say a Spaghetti and meatballs dinner for two. By the time I buy the chopped meat (and all the ingredients you add to them), the sauce, the spaghetti, a salad, some bread, and so forth, you will be somewhere between $20-$35. That's the same as if the two of us went out to a lower end Italian place, or even one of the chains. Of course, yes, adding the tip does make it slightly higher than preparing yourself. But that's what I said. It is INDEED competitive within a few dollars to doing it yourself. |
