Default It's cheaper to eat out.

I know a couple who never cook. They have an incredible kitchen with all
the best appliance, but the only people who have ever used it are the
people who cater their parties. Their fridge usually has a some juice and,
some Tim Hortons Bagels and coffee to be heated up for breakfast. They both
work so they go out for lunch. They go out for dinner every night of the
week. They don't drink or eat desserts. No appetizers. They just order and
entree each, and just water to drink. They figure that it costs them no
more to eat dinner out every night than it would to eat at home. There is
no work for them to prepare and cook the meal themselves and nothing to
cleanup.
