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:

@pg, what's your rate these days? Haven't had any of that slow cooked chili in ages :)


Fantastic!!!

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. :)


Pretty 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.


Time 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.


Yeah, there's probably a huge market for places where people could go to eat meals someone else cooked for them!


Yeah! Maybe you could even deliver!


Great post. Can I ask where you are located?


Thanks

I live in Honolulu, HI =)


I just read your article, and it's a really great idea and very well written. Maybe you should try posting it to HN.
