Fast Food Vs Food From Home

well if you could in larger portions than for yourself it is cheaper.Like if you make enough food for a couple of days and eat it before it goes bad you will spend less than buying every meal. Eating out is really expensive.

Yes, if the portion is less than 2 person, it is definitely better to eat out than bringing food from home. Buying the ingredients usually is a big pack for enough for a family. The time required to cook, the electrical to use, and to prepare the ingredients and also to prepare the food to bring out, the efforts required could actually be reduced to the minimum if I just eat out. Also, if I dine outside, I can save up the effort to clean the stuffs. The only problem is, it's less healthier compared to what you know what you are eating if you bring food from home.

My partner takes a packed lunch to work with him every day as it works out cheaper than eating fast food at the office.

you know you should do what ever works for you, i dont like bringe=ing food boxes with me i prefer eating outside than bringing them with me. its less messy and i dont have to wash plastic when i get home

sometimes fast food, some time i bring from home... you can save money with buy fast food, but you can variate your food bring from home... love kentucky fried chicken, thats cheapest in our country... McD is a little expensive

fast food are very tempting because they're cheap and real good. but then it's better to grab food from home because you can control the calories you put in your food. most stuff from fast food are deceiving because you'll never know how much calories it contain.

Well yes in fact especially if you are just alone. It is cheaper also to buy food which is ready than to cook for yourself only. But you are focus only on the cost let's give focus this time to the food. It's definitely fine to eat cheeseburger once in a while but if you'll gotta eat it everyday just to save money well I don't think you are actually coz you'll be prone to some sickness someday. Probably, what you can do is that you can find other alternatives like sandwiches, tuna or chicken sandwich, salads. There are salads which you can buy in stores too ready to eat. You can also buy food and bring them at home for dinner. In that way, not just you save cost but you save time also. Just make sure that you find a healthy alternatives. In a case of a big family, cooking at home is cheaper than buying outside.

In our country it's definitely cheaper to eat at home. We have our own garden, so we don't have a need to buy some ingredients for the dishes. I am surprised that you can get a cheeseburger for 1.00$ in your country. Here it's 1.40$. And large ice tea would be like 1.6 or even 1.8$ in McDonalds. And it's also a well-known truth that it's much healthier to eat the food you've prepared on your own rather than fast food.

though sometimes it is cheaper eating out, but cooking our own food is much more healthier. we can choose the best ingredients and the way to cook (fried, baked, roasted, or even stemmed). we know that fast food contains less nutrition and more fat. yeah, it's more practical, but if you consume it regularly it will danger your health.

I prefer to eat at home rather than having my meal outside, how cheap would it be eating outside i still prefer to eat at home.For practical reason yes eating outside cost less than eating at our home.But eating at home will be more comfortable than outide. happy lotting!

I often times bring food from home whenever I go to work because it is cost-friendly. Not only that, you know what ingredients that went into your home-cooked food .

I guess it depends on where you buy your groceries and also where you buy your food when eating out. For me, in my country it is quite expensive to eat out, so I almost always bring food to office. I buy groceries from the local small grocers and vegie shop which is much much cheaper than buying from supermarket. The same goes for meat and seafood as well I go to the local market as it is way cheaper and much fresher than supermarket. For one week I have a budget of 50AUD to cook for me and my husband. So thats for about 10 - 12 meals per person. It is very healthy and I know exactly what I put in the food. Compare to buying food outside it will cost us about at least 8AUD per meals per person... unless you wanted to eat McD all the time :) I like to have bottled water too - but instead of buying all the time, I refill it at home that way it saves me money :)

Yes I regularly have fast food. I know its not good for health still addicted to that.......... in this busy schedules and routines no time to prepare home made foods. We ofter bring food from outside. We ofter visit Mc donalds, Pizza corners and KFC's.

I don't think I agree with what was said. AS for me, I find it cheaper to bring my own food and drinks to school and work. It is cheaper since I try to reinvent the dishes that was whipped out the night before. Or create something new, by getting fresh ingredients from the fridge. In this manner, I do not have any guilt in terms of eating "unhealthy" food, at the same time I was able to save on my food allowance.

Well, in here, some foods are cheaper in the fast food but some foods are really cheaper when from home. But I prefer eating at fast foods, it's more convenient for me and I love the taste that my own cooked food.

You are right, sassy. Sometimes, it is more economical to eat outside than to cook at home. For your case, it's better than you eat out, as you will save a lot of hassle to bring food from home. I eat outside all the time too when I work. It's convenient and doesn't cost much. However, we cannot expect the hygiene and nutrition levels to be as high as home-cooked food.

Fast food is cheaper but at the expense of healthiness. It's high in fat , sugar ,etc which would only make u pile on the pounds quicker. Heart attacks , diabetes , etc are more likely to develop. Money vs health. I know what I'd choose. My body is a temple. Is urs?
