I said it above, but buying the fresh produce and ingredients to cook up a meal, note costs me just as much as it would to go grab fast food. And like you said, it saves me the time and saves me having to be in a hot kitchen for an hour when it’s 35⁰ c outside.

I mean it really doesn’t. There’s literally no fast food you can’t do cheaper at home. Sure, you might have to pay a bit more, but you’ll then have at least twice the amount of food.

  This assumes you have storage space, utensils to cook with, money for power to cook, access to a kitchen , etc

    Obviously.
    
    Living at a hotel is also cheaper than an apartment if we consider the cost of rent, a bed, electricity, water and etc.
    
    But living at a hotel is obviously not cheaper than renting an apartment. Perhaps for a couple of days, but long term it will get much more expensive.
    
    As with fast food.
