Buying food and cooking by yourself will naturally save more money than eating out. This is for sure, because the boss needs to pay rent, labor, and various miscellaneous expenses when eating out. In addition, the profit will naturally be higher than that on his own. It costs a lot more to cook a dish at home. Under normal circumstances, buying and cooking your own food will save about 60% compared to eating out, but the taste of the food may not be as good as eating out. Why does it save money to buy and cook your own food? First, the ingredients for the restaurant's meals are all cost-accounted, but you don't do cost accounting at home. For example, a plate of shredded potatoes can be sold for at least 12 yuan a plate in restaurants now, and the ingredients are usually about 1 pound and 20 pounds. The retail price of a pound of potatoes is only 2 yuan, so making it at home is the same as in a restaurant. For a given dish, the raw material cost at home is only 2.4 yuan, and the cost of seasonings and gas will not exceed 3 yuan, so cooking it at home can save you at least 9 yuan.

Second, restaurants mainly sell service and environment. Cooking at home means having enough food and clothing. When we go to a restaurant to eat, we don’t have to do anything. We just wipe our mouths and leave after eating. At home, we need to wash vegetables and make food, and then wash the dishes and wash dishes afterwards. When eating out, you use the hotel's venue and services, so naturally these fees are included in the dishes. If you save all these expenses at home, you will naturally save a lot more money than in a restaurant.

Because restaurants have these expenses, their dishes are generally based on the cost of raw materials, plus at least double the cost to reach their own costs and make a profit. Third, cooking at home is more in line with the taste of yourself and your family, and is safer and more hygienic. Nowadays, in order to pursue the taste, restaurants use heavy seasonings and many kinds of oily dishes. Although these dishes taste good when eaten, long-term consumption may cause health risks.

The dishes made at home can be adjusted according to the tastes of yourself and your family. Although it may not be as delicious as outside, it is comfortable and healthy to eat. This is why many people love home-cooked food so much.

No matter what kind of food you cook at home, you will save a lot more money than in a restaurant. If a person goes out to eat the same food as at home every day, his monthly expenditure will be at least three times more than what he would have eaten by himself.
