Shopping for the four of us in this house takes about three man hours a week. Cooking about 15. That is much less than an hour a day per person. If we felt like it we could optimise the shopping even further by only shopping when we were already passing the supermarket on the way to or from work.
If we felt like it we could do the shopping online and cut it down to a few minutes a week.
Cooking Sunday dinner for four today took me less than two hours. Would have been faster if I had not prepared everything from scratch.
- sneak 5y ago18 hours per week, and a lot of that is spent whether you are cooking for 1 or for 4, so those that live alone are talking about 15-16 hours per week. A whole waking day.
- novok 5y agoI think my mother realized this implicitly when I was a kid. She wasn't so motivated to cook when it was just for herself, but was when it was for the entire family. I guess in the end, it needs to become a team effort for a team result to become efficient. I'm interested in the recommendations here to help solve that problem, there are some new ones I haven't heard before: https://www.reddit.com/r/fatFIRE/comments/ost9hc/folks_in_vhcol_urban_cities_what_meal/ https://www.reddit.com/r/fatFIRE/comments/ost9hc/folks_in_vh...
- kwhitefoot 5y agoWe share the work between the four of us so it is much less than an hour a day per person. I bake a large loaf every other day, it takes an elapsed time of 24 hours but only 15 minutes of that is actual work.
