Omo cooking is cheaper oo. When you cook in bulk and store in the freeze you don't waste money...just bring out warm and you are good to go. Meanwhile....I sell very nice kitchenwares, ceramic plates and soup bowls and glasswares (wine glasses, beer glasses, cocktail glasses etc) 1 Like |

Cooking is more cost effective if you're cooking in a large quantity than eating out. With 2k, you can prepare a meal that can sustain you for 3days on two square meal per day. However a plate of rice in a low key restaurant is 500 with meat which means 500×6=3000 |

Eating out is more cost effective because the food mostly wastes when you cook for one. You can't keep eating same food in case you cook and store in the freezer... Also time to benefit ratio isn't also worth it. The time it takes to cook for 4 people is same time you'll use to cook for one person. Just simply eat out where natural food is served. Not fast food. Much better. |

Gkemz: You didn't factor in the cooking time. That time is money directly. In my opinion. |

Re: Cooking Or Eating Out As A Single Person? Which Is More Cost Effective? by Bluezy13(m): 5:32am On May 26, 2022 |
ashewoboy: That can tell from the number of likes attracted by the post on the first page. Practically, you can try it for yourself. Use 1 or 2 weeks. Eat normally and avoid extravagant eating. If additional meat is not necessary, then don't eat it. Try it and you will know which is better. |

tesppidd: Well, all man to himself o. If you checked properly, I said eatery. I don't do Mama Put and I will never do them, I have my reasons for that. You see, any food you eat outside put you at alot of risks. Just to make you have a little understanding of what I am saying; eating outside is one dangerous thing, as the environment where such foods are cooked can be an eyesore, infact, everything about outside food is dangerous. The eateries on the other hand are a bit bitter than mama put in terms of hygiene and all. This ones try as much as possible to maintain some high standard of hygiene because it's not usually a one man enterprise. People from different arena work with them and may expose them, should they engage in any form of diabolical act and unhygienic practices. For instance, Mr. Biggs, Chicken Republic, Tanterlizer etc they will do all possible to avoid any dirty practice. In most local restaurants anything goes. Most of them will cook in a cockroach and rat infested environment. Any of these things could have many time be falling into their soup: lizards, rats, cockroaches will fall into their soups and they will just take them out and continue serving Sorry, I am sorry, bye. |

Strongbest:Alright i get your points. Now you are talking about the hygiene factor. And i can't argue with that. Surely cooking is the best way to ensure your food hygiene. But remember this entire thread was about cost effectiveness and not hygiene.! Well like you rightly said, all man for himself. |

skywalker240: Let's see. Soup with 4k to last for 4 days. What kind of soup will this be? Is it one with no meat? Perhaps also one that consists of mostly water. No way friend. Four days of soup is going to be costing at least 6K even for a single man. |

hardayemmie: The most that you can save from buying indomie in bulk is #10~#20 per pack. Where the extra cost incurred with making a bachelor meal comes is the big production that's involved with cooking just a single meal. Kerosene/gas, it's far more efficient fuel-wise to make a large meal meant to be eaten by many than what is to be eaten by one person along with a list of other expenses. |
