Is eating out cheaper than cooking at home every day in 2022?

Threads been made but it depends on what you are eating.

Many variables
If you're comparing the same food/meal cooked at home vs being ordered out, then yeah, it's cheaper to cook at home

Nah. Takeout gets more expensive everyday. Fresh produce is forever

Depends on what your eating. If your single u can get away with it but it's dumb . Unsustainable and irresponsible if u paying for a wife or child

It’s cheaper to cook everyday if you’re specifically aiming to save money. If you buy in bulk and eat boring / consistent meals, ie chicken and rice. But if you wanna chef up and make a great meal you’ll enjoy? It honestly isn’t that much cheaper.

You can also eat out consistently and have it end up cheaper than cooking, but most likely it’s gonna be trash food which will be costly to your health in the long run. There’s a reason you can get a Wendy’s 4 for $4, because nutritionally it’s garbage food.

Hell no… I keep hearing people say this and it’s dumb as fukk. Food prices have indeed gone up but a Nugget meal from Chik Fila A is $11 now, I can buy chicken breast, potatoes, and soda for a few meals for the same price.

I was just pondering this

I make can make $50 in the in the time it takes to cook a meal costs $20. so $30 profit so for me yes.

depends on what you cook and volume of how much you eat

pasta is a different case tho. you can even get ingredients at dollarama/dollar tree (if need be)

If you eat only what you cooked consistently, then yeah, chances are it's significantly cheaper per meal.

12-pack of Crossiants at Sam's Club - $6
Deli sliced turkey, 1 pound - $13
Bacon - $7 pack, but you can find the fully cooked bacon for $4.50
1/2 pound of cheese, deli sliced - $7
Toppings/Condiments - Let's assume $10 bucks, depending on tastes.
Large bag of chips - $4

$42-52 bucks spent, should make 12 sandwiches + handful of chips on the side = roughly $4 per meal, give or take some loose change.

That same meal at Jason's Deli is going to run you about $8-10 bucks.
