Cost Benefit Analysis

Cooking for yourself in New York seems like a tremendous waste of money.

Last night, feeling guilty about not actually using my kitchen, I grabbed some beef cubes, tomatoes, onions, and bread to mix something together. Total cost: $9.14.

Assuming I stretch two meals out of that, and that means two completely unAmerican sized meals, that means I'm spending over $4.50 for a meal. That's not bad, I suppose.

Except that $4.50 doesn't include the hour it took to make everything, an hour that would have been saved had I just gone for the $3 slice of pizza pie instead.

So I guess it's back to my patented Doritos diet? Only 99 cents a bag!
