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

[F*ckthemkids]

Anyone who says think Mother drunk bleach when she was pregnant with them.

 

[Mr. Negative]

Nah. I might blow 150 tops on groceries a month.

Only way eating out should be cheaper is if you buying all the most expensive cuts and brands at like whole foods or some shyt

 

[boriquaking]

Stupid. I can get chicken drumsticks and veggies at the supermarket for $10 and eat for 3 days.

 

[boriquaking]

All I know is a bag of fried in the frozen food section is $4.50 where I live. A large fry at any given fast food restaurant is $2.99.. Do the math how many $2.99 orders you can get from a $4.50 bag at the supermarket.

…. Do you mean french fries?

$150 and eat good all month

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Not true

It definitely saved money to cook at home in general.

It also depends on what you’re consuming and comparing apples to apples.

Yes. my bad. let me edit

Meal prep wether you eat out or at home is the cheapest way to eat.

I already have a pre made list of every restaurant I’m going to eat at and what meal I will buy

Also breakfast should always be eaten at home, breakfast is probably the biggest scam ever if you eating out for it.

Cooking saves a lot more money. It’s the variety and the time that is difficult. It’s like exercising you have to form a habit

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

I think you Can basically get like 4 (maybe more) meals out of a box of spaghetti and spaghetti sauce

And it’ll be like 7$

 

[boriquaking]

Yes. my bad. let me edit

I thought you mean’t like fish lmao like a fish fry

 

[Sauce Mane]

Yes it's cheaper to cook, whoever thinks otherwise is probably buying wagyu steak every day for dinner.

Plus you don't have to cook every night, you can do meal prep

 

[KingsnBucs1987]

sandwiches are a solid idea and i unno how i never meal prepped them

meat dishes are much easier for me tho

I copped 4 quarter chicken legs from the deli for $6, some veggies for from a local spot for $5 and used some leftover rice to meal-prep

chicken is hella cheap tho and you can mix the recipe based on the sauce or whatever you like (im doing honey jerk this week). Just an issue once you switch to another cut of meat

That's what I do, I buy a bunch chicken and fish and a couple of steaks and a bunch of veggies and that gets me through about 2-3 weeks before I stock back up and do it again. I only buy food out on the weekend if I don't have any leftovers from thursday or friday to eat or if I wanna treat myself.

I cook to last about 3-4 days before I cook again

I ate a $70 dry aged ribeye at a restaurant on Friday and didn't think twice about it
Same time I been walking past the $26/lb dry age steaks at Whole Foods for weeks thinking they out they got damn mind with them prices
You obviously save money cooking for yourself, that's literally how people selling you food make profit but it's something psychological that blocks us from processing that simple fact
