Home Cooked Meals, Meal Prep, or Meal Services on O'ahu?

Since the recent threads about the cost and quality of food, I've been thinking about my own food habits and spending... There's definitely too much DoorDash. Aside from DD, I spent a good while having rice + chili crisp + sesame seeds + sesame oil + edamame bowls for lunch (which is good), but I definitely prefer more variety.

Does anybody have cost- and time-saving measures that they've been taking?

Has anybody tried any of the following?

  • Meal Delivery Service - This could be prepped meals or batches of stuff to mix and match from a professional kitchen. I have tried one local business and it was okay.
  • Shared Meal Prep - If somebody already does their own meal prep, maybe they would scale it up a little for extra money.
  • Adopt an Auntie (or Neighbor) - It would be awesome to help cover grocery costs (with extra) if somebody is already cooking good food.

The main takeaway from this post is that I'm really lazy about food and really bad about spending. I'm probably deep in first-world-problems territory here, but it seems like there's gotta be a way to eat better and save money without, you know, cooking for myself.

(It actually hurts to read my own post. But I'm posting it anyway.)
