Damnnn niggar

This question ehnn


The advantage of eating out nor actually outweigh its disadvantage

Hard to tell now. The reason I still prefer cooking to eating out is because that's the only way I can be SURE of what I am eating.

Eating out is more cost effective.

Additionally, you get to eat varieties.

For example,
You can use N3,000 to cook a restaurant standard soup minus Eba. Then you keep eating the same soup over and over.
But with that N3,000, you can eat rice, okro soup, eat melon, eat bitterleaf soup at different times plus garri in a restaurant or mamaput depending on your location...if we are to assume a plate of food to be N500. You can add extra if you want.

Notwithstanding the gas, water, stress and time used to cook that food. And imagine warming a pot of soup over and over for someone without a refrigerator or electricity let alone the cost of fuel and maintenance of generator if inclusive.

But if two or more persons are involved, cooking is preferable.

It is worthy of note that the criterion for judgement here is relating eating out to cooking considering a particular amount of money.

No matter how, cooking will always be cost effective.

For you to eat satisfactorily in any mamaput these days, you will have at least 1,000

Let say you want to eat 1,000 food in the morning, eat snacks of 300 in the afternoon and another 1,000 meal as dinner.

This will amount to 16,100 in a week and 69,000 in a month of 30 days.

Now, if you use 69,000 to get raw food.

Analysis: If you look out to fill your gas from the seller selling in bulk you will fill at an average of 700/kg. You will fill 12.5kg cylinder with 9,000 transport included.

Out of 69,000.

1 12.5kg gas +transport fare = 9,000

1. ½ bag of rice = 15,000

2 Bean = 5,000

3. Semi 10kg = 6,000

4. Garri = 3,000

5. Yam = 5000

Ingredients for cooking soup eg: Palm oil, seasoning and others =5,000

Balance = 26,000

Out of the remaining 26,000
Budget 4,000 for soup and the transport fare to buy the ingredients every week.

Remaining 6,000 can be kept for miscellaneous and evening suya and Pepsi while returning from work.

My guy come try eating out for Benin city make you know wetin life de talk

You go chop 1200 naira worth food in the afternoon, you go hungry before 45mins

Am safe to conclude, You might probably be in one of those northern states where foodstuffs and restaurants food's are excessively cheap and served in large quantities

Over here in Benin

2 meat= 200 each

4 wraps of fufu (the size of a 1 year old baby's fist) = 100 naira each

Vegetables soup= 150

Orha soup= 150

Egusi and ogbonor= free

As for spoon

Rice= 400 (na that one aldut fit eat)

2 meat= 200 each

Spaghetti= 200

Or

2 meat= 200 each

Boiled Beans=200

Rice=300

4 pieces of Dodo (fried plantain) =150

Boiled egg = 100 naira

In the evening

Palm Oil beans = 250 (na that one aldut fit eat)

Bread (small) = 150

Pap = 200

Milk = 250

Sugar (optional)=50

Calculate all those prices for a week, then you'll know nothing beats cooking at home even if it involves gas, stove, firewood or even electric plates.

As for variety, won't argue that, but cooking at home has its own advantage, as you can add what and what were not added to the recipe

But eating out variety or not, is darn expensive
