My tip is actually to spend money on a TaskRabbit. In our household we are two working parents with a toddler and a Tetris game of logistics. By spending money on hiring a TaskRabbit to help us chop and cook, we end up saving money in the long term. This is because it saves so much time we actually have time to cook, and this enables us to eat home-cooked food all week. So we don’t order takeout anymore. Spending ~$30 a week on a TaskRabbit actually saves us money and allows us to eat healthy home-cooked food.
