You gonna cook some of your own meat as well at the same time? That's
the first determiner isn't it? I'd guess not, otherwise you wouldn't
be asking. And we really don't know what the opportunity cost of your
time is do we? Meaning we don't know how precious your time is to you.
So I'm gonna leave that to you.
Some people have some extra time on their hands and don't mind a
distraction. Some are busy bees keeping busy mostly with busy work
which of course is important to them, then there's wives and mothers
who really are busy.

How much will the fuel cost you? Add 50% or so to that for your time
and money replacing it.
He ought to reinburse the 6 pack you were forced to consume during the
monotony.
And make him buy three bottles of your sauce.
