Buy yourself time by outsourcing dinner

Yup, for just $50 a week, people are buying themselves some time to chase after some dreams:  working out, playing guitar, and of course writing.

For $50, they can free up as many as 10 hours every week!  Imagine what you could do with just one of your long term goals with 10 hours a week:

How about time to play or exercise? 
More time to spend with your family and other people you care about?
Or if you’re working too hard – maybe even just catching up on sleep!

But how can someone free up 10 hours a week... and how did we get on this topic in the first place?

First, let's see just where most people's time goes.  Most of us spend a way too much time doing a combination of the following thing:
1. Cooking
2. Washing dishes – especially hand-wash items
3. Shopping – including grocery shopping
4. Driving out to get take out meals

When you add them up, these various tasks take the average American average of 12 hours a week... simply too much time to ignore.  So for those of us t whom it matters, how can the time be saved?

Maybe:
1. Eat out for every meal... Very convenient, yes, but also pretty darn expensive. Plus there's no guarantee it's all that healthy.  And it's certainly time consuming.
2. Ordering in bulk for take out... Which may be relatively inexpensive, but also not necessarily healthy, and can certainly lack variety.
3. Hire someone to cook... Which can provide variety, healthy meals, and may well be inexpensive in the right circumstances. It could also end up being expensive - and there's the need to hire and manage someone.

And while option 3 seems to present the best range of options, would you rather have to put an ad up on Craig's List and deal with the hiring and management of a stranger, or simply let an experienced personal chef take care of all the logistics for you?

This is the idea behind a business like Dine In 2Nite.  All the recipes are developed, ingredients are procured, the cooking is done, and the food is delivered freshly cooked and ready to eat each evening - nothing to reheat.

So instead of outsourcing to an individual cook, consider a firm with the experience of cooking for hundreds of families, and the know-how to save you precious hours each and every week.
