Tip Dude, that is an interesting perspective that I had not thought of before. On the other hand, I didn’t know you could even get an apartment with no kitchen appliances. Is that really common in New York? Your argument makes sense if you are the one who has to purchase the appliances. But if you’re talking about electricity only, then I disagree. And if you are, then the argument of paying for the space of the appliances also doesn’t apply since the appliances are already there when you rent the apartment.

If your feel that your electricity supplier is ripping you off, post him on the ripoffforum.org ;)
This one will be a sure fire soon.

I do question the suggestion that eating out would be more economical than cooking with an electric stove, even in a big city or when cooking for less than 2 people. Jennifer

I did some counting on my five fingers and it seems you are right.

Jennifer, Tip Dude always gets a lot of reader objections whenever he asserts that eating out can be cheaper. Eating out on a regular basis can have its negative health implications, and of course it depends on what you cook as to how much it costs you. If, like many New Yorkers, your kitchen consists of a single microwave oven, and you often stuff your face with $2 pizza, $3.50 Chinese food, $4 fast food meal, or a $4.50 burger at the local diner, you will understand the big savings that come with not having to rent the space and pay the costs for a freezer, a stove, and maybe even a car to get to and from the cheaper grocery stores in the suburbs. Of course, you can’t charge all of those ‘lifestyle’ costs against the choice to cook at home. However, it is important to understand that cooking is a lifestyle choice - and not necessarily a way to save money. The proliferation of joints like White Castle in poorer neighborhoods suggest that many inner city dwellers have figured out that eating out is likely cheaper or similarly priced as finding an apartment with a fully-fitted kitchen that offers convenient access to a grocery store that isn’t a rip-off.
