I recommend finding someone on craig's list to cook for you, so you don't have to worry about it. Time is at such a premium when you are trying to launch your own business, and if they're shopping for a family, they are probably better at bargain hunting and coupon clipping than you are.
I did just that, and I discuss it in this post. Wasn't sure if HN would appreciate it, so I haven't submitted it here:

- mchristoff 18y ago@pg, what's your rate these days? Haven't had any of that slow cooked chili in ages :)
- breck 18y agoGreat post. Can I ask where you are located?
- sidsavara 18y agoThanks I live in Honolulu, HI =)
- pxlpshr 18y agoFantastic!!! I agree man, I enjoy cooking but it takes soo much time. So, for people still working a day-job, contracting your cooking is a great time saver. Fortunately, my gf is my life manager in the evening and takes care of me. :)
- wayne 18y agoPretty awesome. I thought it was especially cool how you took the time to diligently record your schedule for a month so you could figure out which tasks took the most time yet gave you no enjoyment. After that, it seemed like a no-brainer to outsource cooking, but without the data, it would have been hard to reach that conclusion.
- pchivers 18y agoI just read your article, and it's a really great idea and very well written. Maybe you should try posting it to HN.
- sage_joch 18y agoTime is at such a premium no matter what your goals are. And since this is HN, I should mention that this seems like a great idea for a startup.
- corentin 18y agoYeah, there's probably a huge market for places where people could go to eat meals someone else cooked for them!
- silentbicycle 18y agoYeah! Maybe you could even deliver!
