Is home cooked food cheaper if you do high end meals?

[jennifer_bloom]

I do not like to take money from others but I cannot afford to go on dinner or lunch parties with my friends all the time, I do not have the type of money that they do. They could buy a $1,000+ outfit every 2 days and not go bankrupt. Me, I’m lucky to buy one classy outfit a month. They never make fun of me or make me feel bad but I have the idea I do not take from others unless it’s food or needs or clothing or medicine or shelter or time sensitive gifts like birthdays or celebrations.

On average, home cooked meals are less expensive compared if you bought similar meals from a restaurant. You have the added benefit of controlling the quality of home cooked foods.

Not only is it cheaper it's healthier as well

Buy in bulk at costco, and try to spend on the essentials. No need for snacks unless it's fruit/nuts.

If you shop for real food you will eat less and be healthier also! The processed garbage makes us hungrier when we just need 3 normal sized meals and healthy snacks like yogurt and a banana or nuts and raisins.

For those who want a quick and easy answer: It's generally cheaper to cook food at home than eat out. The reason so many people can get stuck on the question is the human psychology variable. People don't always spend wisely, and it isn't as if prices are always the same at a supermarket or a fast food restaurant.

You get what you pay for, but it should definitely be cheaper if you factor in serving size and the number of servings. I'd pay for it if they were cooking me dinner.

Yes food is typically always cheaper when you make it at home. Even higher end meals

Home cooked food tends to be cheaper; especially if you look for sales on ingredients.

Home cooking for me has been a real cash saver plus I’m getting better at cooking

win/win
