Chicken or beef will set you back about 80NT for enough to use twice. However, don't forget that you need to factor in the price of rice and vegetables, or something similar. At they very least I would say cooking a meal at home will cost you around 50NT at the cheapest and up to 100NT at the most. This is about the same price as eating a lunch box meal, but it will be fresher and healthier. Cooking at home is also a lot cheaper than eating at restaurants, where meals usually cost 150NT or higher. Long story made short, cooking at home will save you money. @Billy,
