Lately, everyone is looking for ways to make life easier. Between work, errands, and family responsibilities, cooking often feels like one more thing on an endless list. That’s why so many people rely on takeout because it’s quick, convenient, and requires no effort.
But here’s the question: does takeout really save you time and energy in the long run?
Or is meal prep, with a little planning and the right support, the smarter, healthier choice?
Let’s explore both sides and find out which one truly works best for your lifestyle.
The Takeout Temptation
We’ve all been there. It’s 8 p.m., you’re tired, and the thought of cooking is exhausting. So, you grab your phone, place a quick order, and within minutes, food arrives at your door. Problem solved — right?
Not quite.
While takeout saves you time in the moment, it can slowly drain your energy, money, and health over time.
The Hidden Downsides:
High Cost: Ordering out regularly adds up fast. Sometimes double or triple the cost of home-cooked meals.
Low Nutrition: Most takeout meals are high in oil, sodium, and sugar, leaving you sluggish or bloated.
Decision Fatigue: Constantly choosing what to order can become stressful (and repetitive).
Waste: Disposable packaging piles up quickly, which isn’t great for your home or the environment.
Takeout is convenient, yes, but it’s rarely sustainable.
The Power of Meal Prep
Meal prep is the practice of planning and preparing your meals ahead of time, often for the week. It doesn’t mean spending your entire Sunday cooking — especially when you can have a concierge service handle it for you.
At its core, meal prep is about control. Control over what you eat, how much you spend, and how you feel.
The Benefits:
- Saves Time (in the right way): Instead of daily cooking or ordering, meals are ready in minutes.
- Healthier Choices: You know exactly what’s going into your food.
- Budget-Friendly: Buying ingredients in bulk and cooking ahead cuts costs.
- Less Stress: No more “what will I eat?” moments — your meals are sorted.
- Peace of Mind: A stocked fridge equals calm evenings and easier mornings.
Real-World Example
One of our clients, a young professional in Abeokuta, used to order takeout five times a week. It felt convenient, but she constantly felt tired and unorganized and the family ends up eating junks .
We introduced her to Go-Getter Concierge’s meal prep service. Our team handled the grocery shopping, portioning, and meal prep for the week based on her preferences. Within a month, she saved over ₦40,000 and said her energy levels had “never felt this steady.”
Now, her fridge is filled with ready-to-eat, nutritious meals, and takeout is a rare treat instead of a routine.
