When takeout is cheaper than cooking for yourself
I live alone in NYC, and grocery prices are insane right now. My favorite soup when I'm not feeling well is thom yum soup. The ingredients for 8 servings cost more than getting 5 containers of soup from the Thai place down the road. I eat half a container and add rice to fill out the portion. That's 10 lunches and all I have to do is make the rice. $33 and I don't have to cook. I just freeze the individual containers and portion and freeze the rice. That's maybe $4 a meal for 2 weeks worth of work lunches that I actually enjoy.
What are some of your takeout hacks that end up being cheaper than making food yourself from scratch?
