googletag. display("div-ad-articleLeader");
If you hate cooking, you will most likely spend a lot of money on meals --
In the restaurant.
If you spend money at a restaurant, there is a good chance that your spouse will argue with you about eating expensive restaurant food instead of cooking at home.
But is cooking at home really cheaper than eating?
This article will challenge the myth that cooking can save money.
For example, let's say you drive past a "In-n-
You can have a burger if you want.
You can choose to drive-
Or drive to the store and make hamburgers for yourself at home.
If you choose to buy a burger while driving
It will cost $2.
It takes about 10 minutes to buy.
Now let's discuss the cost of cooking.
First of all, you need to drive to the store, which needs to make money with gasoline.
You then need to spend about 20 minutes buying the ingredients.
Next you need to drive home, cook, eat, cleanup.
Here is a conservative estimate of some of these costs and the exact price of the ingredients in my local store: $1 gasoline. 50 (estimate)
$3 pound burger. 62lettuce $1. 29Tomato $0. 99Onion $0.
$2 for 50,000 island.
39 hamburger buns (8)2. 89Pickles $2. 7xa0Total = $15.
Of course, you'll have the remaining ingredients, so it's fair to subtract a bit from it.
However, the real cost of this burger is the labor force to make it: Drive: 20 minutes preparation: 15 minutes Cooking time: 10 minutes cleaning-
Up: a total of 10 minutes = 55 minutes, so if you assume your time is worth $20/hour, this will add $19 to the total cost.
This brings the total cost of making your burger to $34. 97!
Also, this does not take into account electricity, gas, wear and tearand-Tears on the car.
If this looks expensive, fasten the seat belt as the burger is a very cheap recipe compared to most main courses.
I made similar calculations for a recipe on the Internet called "the best lasagna in the world.
"It has the following ingredients: 3/4 of lean beef, 1/2 cup of chopped garlic, 1 flap (28 ounce)
Tomatoes can be crushed 2 (6 ounce)
Canned tomato sauce 2 (6. 5 ounce)
Canned tomato stew 1/2 water 2 tablespoons sugar 1 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1 tablespoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground 2 teaspoon salt3/4 lb mozzarella cheese, the 3/4 cup of Italian parmesan cheese was ground, and the total cost of making the dish was $62.
There are 27 ingredients alone.
This price is for main courses only-
No salad, no drinks, no desserts!
It takes 3 hours to prepare.
So, if your spouse has a fight with you while eating
Go out often and show her evidence that eating at home is more expensive than eating at a restaurant.
You can be happy to be on the right side.
Please note that the cost of your relationship is not considered in my calculation.
