Food quality matters. The restaurant don't cook healthy. They are only after profit at the expense of your general health |

Eating out is way cheaper. You won't fill gas, buy water, stress yourself to go to the market, spend time which is also money to cook. Sometimes you spent an hour to cook and only eat for 10 minutes. Besides eating out gives you variety. You can eat rice, beans and spaghetti in one plate or eguisi, okazi and draw in one plate. But can you cook these three soups without spending up to 15k to 20k and let's say you don't have fridge or there's no light. You'll warm three soups for how long till you get tired? Also, eating out means you eat fresh foods all the time, no warming. And there's no way you'll spend money to buy food stuffs that you still won't eat out a little. Snacks is eating out too. So you'll still eat out. |

Sunisonflex39:Well, you don't like variety. You mean you ate this soup morning afternoon and night? 😷 I can't. I love variety and hate repeating food which is why I eat out because I can enjoy the variety without the stress of cooking. |

It depends on where you eat out if it is a roadside mamaput, yes it may be cheaper eating out But If you eat at Choice restaurants, or you order from the likes of Amoke and co, then consider it cheaper to cook your meal yourself |

Eating out is more expensive o. I spend over 3m on food every year with a minimum of 10k a day and my daily spend is usually more than that. |

Eating at home is cheaper. |

TTPAAR:Thank you very much. According to OP, people don't calculate the stress involved and the gas you used while cooking the food. |

Don't know how you arrived at your calculations, but be it living alone or in group, cooking at home is way more favorable than eating out. What you eat at home in terms of quantity and quality is far better than eating out regardless of the points you mentioned above. Cooking at home is the deal anyday anytime |

TTPAAR:Except this person is staying somewhere in the middle belt to north..... This meal is meagre managed and not averagely nice. |

I am married with 3 children that's a total of 5 persons,I still spend less because of the kind of wife I have,she is very economical.but for the singles u have to consider the health implication, preparing ur meal is way cheaper if u factor in ur health. |

Love800:I’ve had a bitter experience with roadside food back when I was in Yenagoa…… so I'd rather cook my own meals or eat at a better eatery |

son4century:Filling gas Worrying if there's light so your food won't spoil, Etc. Those are all expensive |

Cooking is better either staying alone or with family members. |

inoki247:you be glutton na why. Normally if you cook any meal by yourself, you tend to eat less. If I finish cooking, I'll loose my appetite completely. |

We4all:Most restaurants are more hygienic than some people so forget that one. |
| Re: Cooking Alone Vs Eating Out, Which Is More Expensive? by BafanaBafana(op): 7:45pm On May 09, 2025 |
Ezzymadu:That quantity they serve you is what you should be eating. Anything more is gluttony. |
| Re: Cooking Alone Vs Eating Out, Which Is More Expensive? by We4all: 8:00pm On May 09, 2025 |
BafanaBafana:Obviously, I am not among those people. Most people preparing meals in restaurant have very poor hygiene. Accept this and have peace. |
