Which is better and cheaper, cooking at work or eating out?
For a housewife like me who likes to cook, I must have finished my three meals a day at home. First of all, I am a foodie who loves food. Not only do I like to cook some delicious food for my relatives and friends, but I also like to share some delicious things with my friends and family. I usually invite some friends to big hotels or small stalls outside for dinner. Sometimes I will consider the cheap cost of food and the amount of money in my wallet. But for foodies, as long as I can eat what I like, As long as you can eat delicious food, you can basically ignore the factors of saving money and cost, because it is a very happy thing to eat food that makes your tongue happy.

In addition, I am a person who likes to go to the kitchen. I don't want to be as simple as a food label. I also want to continuously improve and grow my cooking skills. In addition, I like my family to sit around and eat my cooking, which has a certain sense of accomplishment for me. My son is going to school this year, which is already a critical moment in senior two, so I want to cook some delicious food for my son, and I don't want him to eat out every day. In my subconscious, only eating at home can my son get the best nutrition and I can ensure his healthy growth. Now my son has become a habit to eat my food, and he doesn't like the food outside, feeling that the taste is not as good as mine. My husband works very hard every day, and I also want to let my husband who walks into the house eat my delicious food for the first time through his own cooking skills, so that his body will be healthier.

I feel that cooking at home is guaranteed in terms of hygiene and health. Although the dishes are also bought in the market and the seasonings are also bought back, the preparation process, seasoning collocation, edible oil addition and other details of each dish are under my control. This is one of the reasons why I insist on cooking at home. When eating out, many people are worried that there are fake ingredients in the spices and ingredients. In the past, many unscrupulous businessmen pursued the maximization of interests, but adulterated and cut corners in many aspects such as seasonings and cooking oil, and many things happened that made the people feel afraid and worried. Nowadays, people's health concept is getting higher and higher. Although these adulterations are much less, the people are still very scared. I have been cooking at home for years, and there has never been a problem with food safety.

Secondly, my current job is mainly to create delicious food content, and to provide fans with high-quality delicious, healthy and delicious food content, so I basically don't care much about the cost of cooking myself. I think it doesn't matter that the cost of cooking is higher as long as it looks delicious and fans like it, as long as it can present high-quality food content to fans. Although it seems like a tall thing to create food content, it actually needs to invest more time and energy. It is necessary to study each dish, try to analyze the nutritional value of each dish and tell the story of each dish more touching. In addition, props should be placed to take pictures, so that the dishes can have a better face value and the readers like them better. All these take energy and thought, and it takes continuous learning to grow. From the point of view of eating goods alone, no matter how you eat, it is definitely much more expensive to cook and eat outside than at home. After all, it is a commercial activity outside, and businesses should consider profits, but it is different at home. It is much cheaper to lose rent, staff and other expenses.

The problem of raising the master can be divided into several aspects:

1. The food in the hotel tastes much better, even professional chefs can't cook the taste of the hotel at home, which is mainly due to the heat and seasoning. Me, too. I never cook at home. I really can't help it. I really don't want to be naughty! So if you want to taste good, eat in a restaurant! (Fast food box lunch is another matter);

2. Although it's a little troublesome and tastes worse, it's healthy to cook at home. Most of the dishes in restaurants are heavy and spicy, and some unscrupulous merchants use food additives in violation of regulations, and many of the oils used are genetically modified (as it is). Some small restaurants cut meat and vegetables directly without cleaning (such as eggplant, peppers, beans, all meat)

3, so as long as time permits, it is recommended to cook at home, save money and rest assured that health is the most important thing!

Take a dinner for two as an example in a small city in the south:

(? ) a eat out (ranked by frequency)

1. Order fast food in ordinary restaurants in downtown areas, with boiled chicken rice, roasted duck rice and barbecued pork rice in the range of 12-18RMB, and the consumption of two people is about 3 yuan per meal.

2. I live near a university, and sometimes I go to eat near the school. If I choose more, the price will be slightly lower, and the two will spend about 25 yuan/meal.

3. The US delegation has a meal for two, which is generally 6, 7 yuan/meal.

(? ) B cooks for two people (P.S. As I have no idea about water and electricity, the following prices do not include the cost of water and electricity. Besides, I won't count the seasonings. ≥≤)

It depends on what you want to eat. The cheapest combination can be scrambled eggs with tomatoes and fried cabbage, and the cost of ingredients is within 1 yuan.

But generally speaking, I will buy more than 25 yuan.

For example, this meal:

A. The cost of a plate of fried chicken with celery and garlic seedlings is: chicken 14 yuan+celery and garlic seedlings 3 yuan+dried ginger and garlic peppers about 1 yuan+red pepper 2 yuan =2 yuan

B. Vegetables about 4~5 yuan

C. Rice for two people (sometimes you will buy a box lunch with only rice) is about 3 yuan

The finished product. The cost is about 3 yuan ~

Another example is a dish of fried fish about 28 yuan (fish 24 yuan+fish body and ginger, onion, garlic, coriander and dried Chili in dip are about 4 yuan), and this meal with vegetables and rice is about 35 yuan ~

Yes, sometimes I cook a pot of soup on a whim. For example, a pot of shredded bamboo chicken soup, shredded bamboo chicken 15 yuan+mushrooms, coix seed, American ginseng and angelica dahurica, and other well-matched stew seasoning 8 yuan+red dates, medlar and ginger pieces are about 5 yuan =28 yuan. After stewing for 2.5 hours, the finished product will come out with about 3-4 small bowls as follows, which will be used as midnight snack if you can't finish it at one time ~ < P > If it is a dinner (two dishes and one soup) including stew, the cost will probably be 6 yuan.

reiterate: the above prices do not include the cost of water and electricity and the money for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, because I can't calculate (? д? In fact, the electricity bill for washing water and stewing soup before and after cooking is really not less ~ < P > To sum up, I don't think it's cheap to cook by myself, but it's a little expensive on the whole. Moreover, it is not so happy to go home in traffic jams after work and then work in the vegetable market and kitchen for an hour or two hungry. But it's more satisfying and satisfying to eat (? ω`? ) I don't want to waste it ~ it's all CD-ROM!

But if you are willing to eat noodles for a long time and only cook low-cost side dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, you should probably save a lot of money.

After I became independent, I paid three times more respect to my mother who bought food and cooked for the whole family after work!

With the rapid development of society, many young people living in big cities are very busy every day. They often work overtime and have no time to choose their own cooking, and they can't cook. Living in the magic capital, it is really not easy to work hard alone outside, and the pace of life is so fast, so I think eating out in a big city is more suitable for our young people now.

but if you live in a second-and third-tier city, cooking at home is really the first choice, which is both economical and affordable. How happy it is to cook at home and choose your favorite dishes, cook in different ways every day and choose your favorite foods!

Food is the most important thing for the people, and we are faced with the problem of

eating every day, but this is life, not just like what we think, we can choose, so we should strive to be what we think, come on!

it's more convenient to eat out at work or cook for yourself, which varies from person to person.

Some people are relatively idle at work, and there is no pressure. In this case, if they leave work on time and are close to home, my personal opinion suggests that they go home to cook and eat. Although it is more troublesome than eating out, it is clean and hygienic, and at the same time, they can enjoy the happiness of getting together with their families for dinner.

For those who are busy at work, stressed and choose to leave home, it is better to eat out. You can also have a certain rest time after work, so that your body and mind can rest, so that you can have a better state for afternoon work.

Personal opinion

I prefer home cooking to eating out. The main reason is that I am picky about food, so it is not accurate. The old man said: My mouth is awkward! For example, fried eggs should be fried on both sides and have a sugar heart; Fried fish can't see oil, but also have crisp bones and rotten meat; Love a vegetarian Buddha jumping over the wall, but add broth to remove the grassy smell of vegetables; Braised pork with plum vegetables is steamed and stewed with oil, and the oil should be removed repeatedly before serving; Drink porridge and want to drink rice oil, but don't like rice too bad; Steamed rice, japonica rice, brown rice, black rice, and purple glutinous rice can be taken at will ... When you go to a restaurant, who will indulge these poor and exquisite things (in my mother's language)

I tried to stir-fry vegetables simply, but I also made the waiter frown straight, and the corners of both sides were bent down, which was uncertain how to condescend. The appearance of the table can only be resigned to fate. Later, I still trouble my family and myself. First of all, food safety is guaranteed and the economic account is cost-effective. Buying food and cooking seem complicated, as long as you master the seasonality of raw materials, mix them with diversity, and simplify cooking: just cook, stir-fry with cold salad.

food is the most important thing for the people, so how can the seasons change without the worldly fireworks? What's more, from purchasing raw materials, to preparing materials for washing and cutting, from eating around the table to washing and finishing, three meals are like a carrier, stringing together a busy family.

I would rather eat well-being than joy.

It's safer to make your own snacks.

It's more expensive to make snacks, and the cost you make will be much higher than the price of finished products outside.

Eating out is not expensive, but there are many varieties, but you shouldn't be too extravagant about hygiene.

I mean fast food, eating a big meal at work, and I can't stop it.

But it's really time-consuming to make your own food, if you work. . . .

objectively speaking, this question varies from person to person. Personally, I prefer to cook my own food, which is healthy and hygienic. I can mix it as I want, and sometimes I have a whim to ponder over something I haven't eaten. I am happy and tireless in the whole process. Of course, I occasionally go to restaurants to eat delicious dishes, and I will remember their tastes. When I get home, I will try to make similar tastes while recalling them. Haha, I put less ingredients and seasonings in my own cooking, so it tastes a little different from that in restaurants. After all, I am not a professional chef, so there is no comparability.

as for saving money, it's really hard to say, because the requirements of the ingredients you buy are relatively high. Many times, after careful calculation, the cost of the same dish is even more expensive than that of the restaurant. Of course, the weight is different, too. I make more weight myself.

there is another difference between cooking by yourself and eating out, that is, the time. Do it yourself, go shopping, choose carefully, and clean it up when you get home. Generally speaking, it takes a lot of time from purchasing to serving the table. Eating in a restaurant is relatively time-saving, because you can't order this dish before the staff goes to buy ingredients, can you? Ha ha.

finally, those who like to cook, do it by themselves, and those who are too troublesome, go to a restaurant to eat. As for the question of which is more economical, it depends on personal choice.

Feel free to put some homemade meals and zongzi wrapped in Dragon Boat Festival, which is a bit spicy.
