How is the cost of cooking calculated?

The cost of cooking includes your weekly grocery budget plus the opportunity cost of the time spent preparing and cleaning up meals.

What does the recommendation mean?

If the hourly value of your time saved is lower than your main job's hourly rate, the tool suggests you 'Cook More'. Otherwise, it suggests 'Delivery is Worth It'.
