If you’ve ever felt like there’s not enough time in the day to get everything done, you’re not alone. Studies have shown that roughly one in four Canadians experiences high levels of time pressure, a figure that has risen by nearly 10% over the past 30 years. It’s not hard to see why, especially in a buzzing city like Toronto. Between dropping off kids to school, late nights at work, and trying to keep a social life, many begin to wonder, ‘Where did all the time go?’
Join us at MealFix Canada as we explore exactly how much time goes into cooking meals on a weekly basis, and how it stacks up to prepared meal delivery in Toronto. Let’s ready our forks and dive in!
How Much Time Goes into Cooking?
Cooking isn’t just about experimenting with flavours and spices. It’s a full process from start to finish, with lots of prep work along the way. Before grocery shopping can begin, meal planning usually comes first. After all, no one likes to be halfway through a grocery trip trying to come up with what to buy! As a result, approximately two out of three people dedicate 30 minutes or more to meal planning before heading to the grocery store.
Once at the grocery store, the real time sink begins. There’s no way around it. Between zipping through aisles and waiting in long checkout lines, grocery shopping can feel like it takes an impossible amount of time. Consequently, studies have found that the average grocery trip lasts around 41 minutes. Once home, the average Canadian spends between 30 to 60 minutes cooking dinner every day. If we average that to 40 minutes every day, that’s around 4.6 hours every week.
Add all of these hidden tasks together, and we find that on a weekly basis, the average Canadian spends nearly six hours cooking every week. That’s not even counting travel time or clean-up! Altogether, it’s clear that the time spent cooking is nothing to scoff at.
