So, it's not cheaper.

Outside of work there aren't many things I do that are "worth the money". Is it worth the money to bake pizza? Not if you compare the cost of a chain pizza vs what I make on average when I'm working.

I do so many things at home that are not "worth my time", but if I could trade doing them for more hours sitting at my desk would I do it? No! I spend enough time working. Some people enjoy cooking, gardening, yard work, etc. There are days that pulling weeds is a nice break from sitting at a desk. I'd never want to work every waking hour at my job so someone can cook, clean and take care of my house for me. Some things I do - are they worth the money? Not a chance. Worth my time? That all depends on how you'd rather spend your time.

Well, presumably most of us are not getting paid by the hour to work on weekends. So no, you are not giving up a paid hour of consulting to make the pizza.

1. Your discounting that some people (myself included) enjoy cooking so it is a liesure activity.

2. The whole "my time is worth X at work so it is worth paying X to not spend time doing something myself" is a fallacy. That only applies if there is opportunity cost involved.

3. Unless you pay even more for delivery or the pizza place is right next door, it will take you 15+ minutes to drive there, pick up the pizza, and come back.
