Top Home cooked food can save you money

Postby JASPREET » 07 Jul 2022, 09:49

Present generation of ours don't like to work hard and this also applies to cooking and this is why we have started to eat out a lot many times in a week these days then it was 4-5 years ago and if you can cut this habit then you will save a lot of money because the food that we eat outside is at least 100 times expensive and also include taxes and other extra charges and it will be better of to go out and eat 1-2 times a week only and slowly you can change it to 3-4 times a week or even lesser than that and that will ultimately save you money.

Thanks JASPREET, for posting a 101 Money Tip on ForumCoin. Cooking at home is certainly cheaper and often healthier than eating out or ordering from takeaways. What type of meals do you cook?

I don't think he cooks, always women of the home cook food.
I leave eating out for occasion only, and eat only home cooked meal.

We prefer to prepare food at home and I like to help in cooking and not very good at cooking alone but I am doing my best to learn whenever I am free and if we can control our habit of eating out then we can save a lot of money.

Over the 4th of July weekend, I stayed with friends. While there, they offered me a dish called Dill Pickle Slaw. I absolutely devoured the dish! So, I remembered the ingredients and grocery shopped yesterday.

cabbage
mayonnaise
sweet onion
pickles (and pickle juice)

So, I bought 3 heads of cabbage, 2 jars of mayonnaise, 1 bag of sweet onions and 2 jars of pickles which came to $22.00 and $6.00 for 6 boxes of water enhancer. A bargain especially how the cost of everything has gone up.

Last night, I prepared a batch. The huge bowl is almost all gone!

I have enough ingredients to prepare another batch or 2!

Attached is a photo of a single serving that I had had for dinner.

I still eat outside but it's not all the time and only when I feel I should order online and this usually happens only once a week or once in two weeks

Again, home made ones will be much healthier as you wouldn't have to spend money treating self again from stooling or from food poisoning that comes with junk foods

Yeah I too find it as a money saving tip as I prefer eating what I can cook for myself. I save a lot of money and also enjoy eating any food I really like as cooking is one of my hobby.

Good, if that is really your hobby, then it is best for you, I never eat outside food unless it is some party or something.

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

I don't have that habit, taste bud makes you to do so, but I keep myself for occasion, in some occasion we still eat home cooked only, like on Rakshabandhan we are celebrating tomorrow. (Sweets will be purchased).

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.

People eat outside because of taste, unhealthy masala is used to make such taste, in home only healthy masala and clean food will also keep your health.
