Most meals aren&#x27;t actually a huge time investment if you do them right.  Make one trip to the grocery store a week (or two if you really need perishables like milk or fresh fish, but if you do that, just go in &amp; out with a list).  Make sure your apartment has a dishwasher.  Get a (dishwasher-safe) food processor for chopping &amp; dicing.  Clean up while the food is cooking in the oven or on the stove.   Cook big batches and have leftovers during the week.<p>My wife and I spend maybe 3-4 hours&#x2F;week on cooking, but the key is that it&#x27;s usually all batched up on Sunday (and maybe Wednesday) nights, so it doesn&#x27;t interfere with work during the week.  On weekdays, it takes 2 minutes to pop a tupperware into the microwave and dump it onto a plate.  That&#x27;s actually a lot faster than ordering Munchery or preparing Blue Apron.
