The roommates and I recently budgeted our money and went out to lunch for Chinese yesterday. It was so nice to get out. We always eat at home. We got the all-you-can-eat buffet.

[JASPREET]

I am in habit of eating outside once a week or twice but these days I am able to control myself because we need to look at our budget and see if we have extra money to treat ourselves or not

This is why budgeting is good. When you work with a budget you would conscious of your spending and would not want to spend on what isn't on your budget.

We need to have some budget and should have self control to save money and not spend all the time because this way we will be broke soon

yes definitely apart from having a budget in place to help us know our needs and spend on those needs we need self-control because without that we will still spend
0 indiscriminately and it will affect our budget

[JASPREET]

There are times when I have zero self control on my spending but I also enjoy that time as it does not happen often so on those times I like to buy things but even then I stock up on things that are being sold at discounted prices

Unless you can cook at home, you know how to cook rice, fry egg and stir fry one veggie, then it is possible to cook at home everyday. If you only know how to cook instant noodles, your hair will drop off everyday because it is salty and high in msg

This may not be homemade, but I like to buy lunch meat once a week at the local deli. 2 loaves of bread and I am set for a week whether for a lunch or a dinner every day.

I even eat homemade in workplace, it is still healthy.

Anything, I am vegetarian, so always veg.
IC can be even bitterground, or Shahi paneer, I eat all

[Jose2816]

I agree with you.I am a university student and I buy food but the cost is more than the home cooked food

What is your favorite food to take to work?

I like most of the dishes so I like everything that is cooked at home and we mostly prefer veg dishes and cottage cheese is best with spinach

[nela13]

I always cook at home, very rarely I go to restaurants and never order takeaway. Cooking at home is cheaper and healthier, besides that you know what you are eating and can choose the quality of the ingredients, I have had some very bad experiences in restaurants and now I only go if I have no other option.

I absolutely agree! I do like pizza shops though.

When you go outside, don't take fake friends with you, they will bill you.

That's true, but people eat out to save time. If you are the busy type with work or career, you don't have the time to prepare your own meals.
So it's one or the other, sacrifice time to reduce spending or increase spending to save time.

[giorgia80]

If you cook large quantities of food then you can definitely save money. on average you can earn 5 to 10 Euro per meal you prepare. If you consider that in Greece, for example, a portion of food costs at least 5 euros, and with 5 euros you make at least 3 portions of food, so you have a triple profit.

[augusta]

But it still boils down to saving money however we want to look at it. You would save money and eat healthy meals which is good.

[JASPREET]

We actually good in large quantity and many times we consume the leftovers the next day so its a way to save money and save on work because you don't need to cook all the time

[freelancermariagrace]

That is correct. Without a doubt, home-cooked meals can help you save money. I always try to prepare meals at home because eating out is expensive, especially these days. The rate of inflation is increasing by the day.

[augusta]

Eating out is expensive in Nigeria So I don't joke with preparing meals at home as I would eat healthy meal and cheaper too.
