As I am currently the only one in my household, I opt for personalized keto meals from a nearby establishment at a cost of $600 per month.
I have a personal relationship with the proprietors and appreciate that they prepare meals from whole foods, rather than processed ones.
Although it costs me an additional $150 monthly compared to purchasing and cooking my own meals, factoring in the time I would have spent shopping and cooking, I am actually saving money.
Given the value I place on my leisure time, this arrangement works well for me.
And you feel confident in the ingredients they use, etc.?
Holy cow. I know, it works for you but geez, $600 a month? I too live alone and I budget for $150-200 per month which varies of course and imho, still too high but, like I said, I live alone. I’ve also taken advantage of CCs offering $200 to ‘sign up’ with them and then use that to get groceries.
Can’t see paying what you do but, whatever rings your bell.
If you are living by your self, (which you are) this might be a good idea. As we are six, (sometimes eight) and I find planning, shopping, prep and cooking fun this would not work for us. But it is an idea for when I am an old lady living alone with a goldfish.
