We have a toddler so time became extremely tight. Though it's been wonderful to have nice meals together as a family. The sheer time involved to plan and shop for ingredients makes it seem like a bargain to us.

Not having to entertain in a grocery cart or plan meals around ingredients that can't be bought in small quantities is even better. I suppose it depends a bit on the types of things you like to eat.

Occasionally there is one that I'll have a snack afterwards, but I tend to have a pretty big appetite and find the quantity fine.
