u will need 2500 to prepare a decent pot of soup & the soup won't even last up-to 3days
If u have parasites around, its better u buy food outside. But if u stay alone in a responsible environment, its better to do ur food!

Cooking ur own food is actually cheaper. By d time u buy all ur ingredients and consumables, it might look like u have spent more money. But when u begin to use them, some of them might last for over a month. Also, u cook 2 milk cups of rice and u will eat it twice or 3 times.
Guys will eat 2 milk cups of rice once

I fall sick once I eat outside, I woulda loved to be able to live like a real bachelor, rather than this haggling I do in the market where all these women take pleasure in cheating me, as well as all the dirty plate washing. Aaaaaaaargggghhhhh

Op you are mouthed.... Following

Yarnvibes:
Variety of Dishes lavishly and tastefully displayed to invite and tempt people who want to feed their stomach. At Mama puts or Bukkas dotted around each city, you find bankers, civil servants and artisans jostling to buy food at these spots.

Madam give me Amala with efo riro, shaki, roundabout and pomo- they shout at the top of their voices.

In other cases, if you don’t like mama put, then the fancy restaurants is the place you frequent. While you regularly patronise these restaurants every day, have you ever considered cooking for yourself?

Of course, you are very busy and you have to leave home early in the morning and return late and this will not give you time to cook. Perhaps, these reasons shared by Kikiotolu.com will encourage you to cook instead of eating out every day.

1. You can trust what you eating
For those who eat out often, they are not in the know of the kind of ingredients that have been used in preparing the food. It what they are served that they eat. But if you cook at home, you have the discretion to add the content you without any worries.

2. You perfect your cooking skills
Men have the tendency to eat out more than women even though you find both genders at the mama put. Regardless, if you want to improve or perfect your cooking skills, it is not by visiting restaurants. You can find time out of your tight to cook. For the men who cook at home, they can brag to friends about their cooking skills and they can show off their cooking skills to their significant other. It is definitely a wonderful feeling.

3. You save money
You have to spend nothing less than N500 to eat at your favourite restaurants daily. But if you cook, you won’t spend such an amount. Every penny is worth saving in this current recession.

4. You make healthier choices
Many of the foods you consume at restaurants are processed foods due to the ingredients they are used. Cooking at home not only help you select your own ingredients but ensure that you make choices that will not negatively affect your health.

5. It builds better relationships
Imagine one of those days your girlfriend who is always coming around to cook for and you told are not to bother about cooking. You will do it. Even though it may not be perfect, she will love you more. In fact, some women say that they prefer men who know how to cook. So, don’t be afraid to show off your culinary skills to your significant other.

For unmarried people, Eating outside is more economical than home cooking if we look at it that angle.
I eat outside when I am at work mainly during afternoon.

Yes but health wise, you still have to give it to home cooking. Working class people whether single or married most times eat outside during the week and do home cooking during the weekend.

But come oh! Do u cook early morning before going to work?

IMO, buying food is cheaper.
Take for instance, I wish to eat well prepared, standard fried rice with chicken, Beef etc. I can goto an eatery and buy for as low as 1500 Naira. Let's say I want to cook that same dish to the standard I have in mind, I can't spend less than 5000. And after eating it once....i might get tired of eating it, eventually, majority of the food will be wasted or fed to the dogs. For a single person, buying food is very economical.

I will forever be a fan of cooking my own meals, at least, until am married. It was one of the things that endeared me to heart my male and female friends in school.

Economically, it is cheaper. You just have to buy everything in bulk or partially, then you can complement.

It is the reason why I look plum, even though na me exercise pass.

saying cooking at home saves money is seriously up for debate, cos I don't agree. do you know how much vegetable oil retails for? A derica of beans is 250, rice 350 or there about. not to talk off the price of kerosene and gas. you can eat out and eat healthy na, oyinbos are the ones who eat processed foods jor.
Are you going to eat it all at once? It saves money compare to mama puts or bukka. Ama man,i cooks for myself and by myself,i only go restaurant when i run out food stuff
