10. my neighbor gets every meal as takeout

says he's done the calculations, too:

I quickly added up a grocery bill of the ingredients I'd need for what I had planned (Tuscany chicken) and I really couldn't see a heck of a lot of difference in price between make it myself and take out.

He likes to cook; he's just busy with his career right now. I get very envious when he orders up a number of Indian dishes. Haven't had Indian food in an age.

Anyway, he says the difference is small and he doesn't like to contend with leftovers, so this is how he does it.
