Personally , I prefer cooking at home .
Eating outside in a restaurant should be like a hangout or a date sort of things .
I ensure my kitchen is all well stocked up with all the basic food stuffs and ingredients.

Eating out is more affordable.

Cooking is cheaper

Lol this question again.


Eating outside is cheaper...


Cooking at home is costly if u want to eat quality and not just anyhow meal and Cooking at home makes you eat like Bandit...


U no fit keep food for pot mak u get rest of mind..

Ur mind go always dey if u cook 3 to 2 cup of rice to eat till night before 12am u go don finish am...

I stopped cooking at home because if I bought 5k worth of meat, I will finish it same day and the soup wasted.

Married people will agree that cooking is cheaper.

Buying every meal is more expensive and less satisfying than cooking.

A breastfeeding mother like me that eats everything few hours, shey I won dey buy 5 to 6 plates of food in a day

You must not be eating a balanced diet. You think that thing Nigerians do, eating one meat that is as small as paracetamol is good nutrition?

Why do you think people abroad look plumpy, they have access to enough protein.

people in the west eat sjit , their build are out of shape

Stephen0mozzy:
Buying ooo.

*Singles*

If you must eat a mountain to belleful, then sofri cook sha. Else buying is cheaper and easier to budget for.

If you must buy half the market before your food sweet, sofri just go buy from better mama put wey sabi cook and chop small.


I prefer buying, with buying comes variety - but if you spend 5k for melon soup, you're stuck with it for 3 days.

true

It depends on the Individual preparin it some want enjoyment very well in delicacies they don't want to miss a bit of anything so when she is preparing a meal she is going to shop a whole lot of many things for the meal in which much money will be spent but generally it cheaper to cook it buy your self and still tasting delicious than buying it out, you can't even compare

eneyoduke:
Please what about single guys who eat more than 5 times a day, which option is preferable?

Nawa oo, are you sure after the 3meals the other 2 are meal, are they not like desert or snacks they have to keep the mouth busy

For the quality of food I/we eat, cooking is cheaper. Any week I don't cook, Chowdeck bills no be here. You done transfer 150k to Chowdeck wallet before?

Cooking is cheaper and healthier.

If eating out is cheaper for you,you should go and learn food management. It is very vital.

There are basics you need in a my Nigerian home.
Freezer not fridge.

A bag or half bag of rice depending on the number of people in your house
Half bag of garri or more.
Half bag of at least 2 types of beans.

Dry pepper,
Bullion cubes
Keg of oils.
If you like crayfish,buy loads and grind.
Carton of spag
If you cook with dry fish, buy like a carton or half.
Cartons of noodles
You can see I didn't incluse yam.


This will set you for a year.

You just shop for fresh proteins,veggies and some other stuffs that don't cost much.


Even as a student, you bulk buy, not to talk of somebody living alone.


Aso rock do bulk buy.

It's those lazy girls that don't know how to cook that will always say eating out is cheaper.

If your girlfriend is encouraging you to eat out always without her cooking at home for you, shine your eye. That's not a wife material.

Those are the kind of girls that will wreck you and dump you for another Odogwu cuz according to them, fine girls no dey cook. They only know how to shake yansh on social media.

That description na wah😅
You that likes cutting your meat small small even though they are plenty.

How many paracetamol like sizes of meat do you eat at a sitting ? 🤣

It's true nau.

Ordinary egg is expensive, I just put students from poor background, how will they feed well.
Everytume the govt only thinks of sharing rice or reducing price of rice, meanwhile the portions of rice we eat is too much and not healthy.

If there is consistent electricity,cooking is better!
Besides,you don't even know how the meal you eat outside was prepared!

saintbillion:
Some people manner of thinking and speaking eeeh. If them bear u witness for court they will implicate u more

Lol, there's a reason courts ask for evidence, not empty noise. You ran your mouth with zero logic, yet failed to challenge a single thing I said. If getting more food for your money offends your sense of reasoning, that’s not my fault, it just means planning meals is clearly above your mental pay grade. Some of us think long-term. Others just eat, blink, and speak nonsense.

For my family of 7, cooking at home is better…With ₦5,000, I can prepare white rice and fried stew that everyone will enjoy, and bellefu 🤣🤣. It's a budget-friendly option that works well for us.

Are u the Fera Ferrari? Cause I was only citing u in what she said. Her point was almost pointless trying to say u spend thesame but the later still gives a portion. That portion is what makes cooking better than buying na

Those ones that are saying cooking is cheaper, pls add up the money you use in filling your gas to the money you will use in buying those foodstuff..

Imagine you fill gas for like 15k still spend some large amounts on foodstuff, you con say cooking is cheaper .. add your money for salt , maggis , curry thyme , nutmegs and the what nots ..

Now which is cheaper ??

One advantage of eating out is you eat newly fresh cooked food daily .. no be warmed soup of lengthy days that is losing its nutrients naim pesin go dey chop .

Please don't cook just buy.
Sweeter , no stress, no time wasting.
Just balance and enjoy your meal

If you are ok with eating every shit by the road side or third grade restaurants, then buying it is.

With buying food, you just never eat in a certain way. Sometimes you want to eat a little, then eat again, and again. That's a luxury you can never enjoy it you only buy your food.

You might want to eat a certain kind of meal , with a certain kind of taste. You can never have that just buying your food.

Now as for the cost, as long as you have a freezer or a refrigerator, cooking is way cheaper.

On average, you spend 4000# just to have something on your stomach, and you are not even full.

Nonsense!!

The money you spend on breakfast, lunch and dinner will cook you a pot of soup/stew that can last 3-4days.

Let's stop this nonsense talk.

And she thinks getting more portion is not a big deal?

I don't count o, but you can find at least 8 to 10 in a plate. Sometimes it could be more and I get tired of eating it.

descarado:

It is a food app, Des. 😀😀

You can buy cooked or uncooked food/groceries there. But mostly cooked food sha.

Anguldi:
Depends on your location , I still eat a plate with meat for 600-700 in Jos Plateau State 🤷.

Enugu na 1500 o

For example, How much do they prepare Hungry man indomie with egg? Compare with when you DIY. This should give you a clue

Adesanmi200:
For this Ijebu ode, I have some spots for locally made food and ko ni ga ju ara lo.

And sometimes I do cook at home.

Sometimes my choice depends on what I want to eat.

I don't usually buy rice like that outside, bread and beans are outside, fufu and Amala, and other swallow are outside.

bread and beans will be cheaper outside na.. Swallow is cheaper outside too if u check am.

One, u go belleful......the other, uno go belleful.

One, e go kill u sharp sharp..... The other no go kill u sharp sharp but slow slow....if u knw u knw
