Which is Better for Price, Speed, Taste, and Health: Cooking or Takeout
In today’s world, choosing between cooking at home and ordering takeout through services like DoorDash is a daily dilemma for many. Each option has its own set of advantages and drawbacks, ranging from cost and convenience to taste and health implications.
- Price: Home cooking generally wins, offering significant savings on ingredients and avoiding additional delivery fees.
- Speed: Takeout is more convenient and quicker in terms of active time spent, but good meal prep can make home cooking more time-efficient overall.
- Taste: Both have their merits, with home cooking offering more customization and potential for superior taste, while takeout provides consistency and variety.
- Health: Home cooking is usually the healthier choice, giving you control over ingredients and cooking methods.
Below, we will look into each of these elements to help you decide whether to cook at home or rely on takeout.

Christmas Holiday 2023 Shipping Deadlines
Last Update: 11/12/2023
Back in the day, when all gifts had to be bought in stores, retailers would helpfully remind us how many “shopping days” there were left before Christmas - not counting the Sundays, and often Saturdays, when stores were closed. Now, in the age of the Internet, every day can be a shopping day, and store hours are any time we’re awake.
However, that doesn’t mean you can just put off all your shopping until the last minute. Because the snag with doing your Christmas shopping online is, you have to factor in delivery time to be sure your gift will arrive before Santa takes off for the year. So instead of counting shopping days until Christmas, you have to count shipping days.
Fortunately, BuyVia has taken the work out of counting for you. We’ve checked websites for all the major stores to see how long their expected delivery times are for regular shipping, express shipping, and free shipping. If a store doesn’t have this information on the Web, or the information is conflicting, we’ve called customer service to get the scoop or extrapolated from the previous year - so you can just relax and enjoy your eggnog.
