>Obviously cost of home cooking vs prepared depends a lot on where you'd eat out

Given that most delivery services have a minimum, it's pretty difficult to spend less than $15-20 to get your food delivered.

In my experience, it's about $2-4/meal to cook, $12-15/meal to eat out, and $20+/meal to get delivery. Imagine that over a year. If you're cooking at $4/meal vs eating out at $12/meal, that's ~$3000 over a year!

On the other hand, you are paying for convenience and some people are willing (and able) to shoulder that cost.
