Is money spent on food a lost money?

July 20, 2017 11:53pm CST
One of the greatest pleasures of my life is being able to eat (and eat well, preferably). However, talking to a few more friends early, they told me that a money (a high amount) spent on different foods is a waste of money. What do you think about it?

I feel it depends on what you prioritize in life. Some people save on food and spend on luxuries. I personally feel, one should never ever compromise on food quality and choices. I never feel my money is wasted on food.

I think that if you want to eat that food, eat it and dont worry about the cost, life is short live well.

Of course not. I agree with you. Enjoying the food is important and also a pleasure in our life. In my city we enjoy eating. We have a saying here: Eating in Guangzhou. As you can have many delicious from here. The eating is a culture here.

Well not really. Methinks. We work to have money to make a living. So i guess it is just fine to spend a reasonable amount.

Money spent on food is not a waste in my opinion unless the food spoils or is obnoxiously expensive.

I kind of see what they are saying? If your on a strict budget certain items like brand name foods, sweets, organic products and luxury items like steak could be seen as a waste of money. Especially, if things are tight and you are budgeting for gas, a mortgage, and clothes for your family. It really comes down to balancing the things you enjoy with the things that are affordable. It is a personal choice for each individual.

At the end we earn to please our senses right? It's all on the satisfaction. If the food makes you happy, that money has met its purpose. So not a waste. But in a diet plan, extra calories do count as a waste

This totally depends on how you view life; if you see things as there are meant to be simply then you wouldn't consider money spend on eating well as a waste. The only down side to this is when you end of wasting the food. Let's have a dinner out together with the bills in you anyways.

No. The only way i see money on food being bad is when the food is wasted.

That may be their opinion. All that matters is how you feel. If spending money on different foods brings you pleasure then so be it.
