[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve been spending entirely too much on takeout and vow to eat out less next month. But sometimes I just don’t want to cook. I don’t want to clean. I don’t want to do anything but throw away a paper plate, at most. I’m looking to alternatives to eating out that don’t require ANY effort or energy in the kitchen. **NOT PIZZA!** We already have a rotating pizza night.

I’ve considered those Costco prepared meals, but they aren’t exactly “cheap”, and some of them take planning (like an hour or more to bake the pot pie/meatloaf, etc.)

Cereal night is another idea but in the past, everyone is still hungry later. And, cereal isn’t cheap either! And nobody enjoys the same cereal. [b]If I’m spending $6 a box, we might as well get Subway[/b].

Help!!![/quote]

You are in dire need of a math class.  [/quote]
I get what’s she’s saying. I have two kids and they each pick a cereal, and DH and I don’t eat that, and I often don’t like what DH likes. So that’s three boxes. If they are $6 each that’s $18, plus milk, so $20. We could get Subway for $30, or whatever, and have no dishes. I think that’s what OP is saying. [/quote]
