I don't know if this counts as being frugal since it involves getting takeaway.
But whenever my wife and I can't be bothered to cook dinner and order **Indian** for takeaway, I don't order rice, and just cook it myself and save $10 (some places offer for free with curry but I'm finding more commonly this is not the case).
Usually it takes about 2 mins to wash and put on and it's done by the time the order is ready to pick up in about \~20mins.
I usually make it a bit of rule that, if I can make it at home, then I should. Defintely outsource if it saves time or I dont have the skills, but rice just doesnt it fit the bill.. #finance source
