let's say i want a good burger and fries
first i have to spend all that time going to the grocery store to get the ingredients
then i gotta spend the time at home cooking it
then cleaning up after myself

that's time

then on the cost aspect,
you can get a good burger and fries for $10 - $15 all over
but store bought fries will be $3-4
the meat will be $6 a pound (you not buying no half pound of ground beef from no store)
cheese will be $3
lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, etc that shit adds up

basically it's not much cheaper to eat at home for a SINGLE person than it is to eat out
i can go to one of them japanese places on UWS and get a $10 bento box and be on my way
go to a spanish joint for the $8 meals


nyc its always something to do so i dont have time to be in the house manageing a dutch oven for 4-6 hrs making a pernil when i could slide by some abuelita's shop on my way home from SOBs

dont forget rachelle ferrell will be at blue note valentines day wknd
