  Aldi was a life-changing experience for me. Buy bread 50% off and freeze. They used to discount meat, but almost completely stopped at mine since inflation shot up. Still, lower prices and freezable items

  I love to cook, but your time and effort are also worth money.

    Man Idk why you got downvoted for this.

    IF (all caps) you have spare cash, it can be worth it to order / eat out instead of buying + preparing + cooking + cleaning up.

    There’s the taste and satisfaction factor too if you’re not a confident cook. Good, satisfying food is a great boost if you need it.

    Again, BIG IF. I understand not everyone has this leeway but if you do, it’s very helpful when you don’t have to spend energy and time to prepare meals

      Absolutely. There are certain things I never get in a restaurant anymore. Steak, for example, is very easy once you learn how to cook it and gets marked up a lot.

      But sometimes a fast food burger just hits. And even if it’s $7 that’s still less money than I would spend to but the individual ingredients to make it.

      plus if you’re not an experienced cook and don’t really know what you’re doing (hell, even if you do and you make a simple mistake), a ruined meal means all those ingredients and all the money spent on them go to waste.

  Yea I do that.

  I do also believe that removes a potential 3rd space of which there are already few (in the US anyway).

  So now I have to be weird on the internet instead.

  If you don’t have a good sized freezer, buy one. It’ll pay for itself pretty quickly.

  I have a five quart pot.

  Every once in a while I’ll whip up a big mess of chili [or lentil soup or stew…] and freeze it in pint size containers.

  Personally, I just that the economy was so good that fast food and other food outlets sold healthy food at cheap or affordable prices so that I never have to worry about it.

  But capitalism sucks.

  Affordable by who?

  Lots of good YouTube and other resources on how to do this. Joshua Weissman and Jeremy Ethier have some good starter videos. I think Bobby Parrish has some series on cheap and healthy options as well as an app. It is doable it just takes a little bit of research and planning.
