My sister says it's cheaper to go out to eat than to make the same food at home because it's only 12 dollars going out to eat, but if you buy the spices, sauces, chicken, rice, etc individually then it's like 60 dollars. I tell her she's dumb because the spice and sauce are the expensive parts and those should last you a month minimum, but she can't comprehend leftovers, or she counters with "I DON'T WANT TO EAT THAT SAME DISH EVERY DAY!"
Or she swears that meal delivery services like blue apron are cheaper because it's less than her grocery bill. But I tell her it can't possibly be cheaper because of all of the extra costs invovled in shipping, packaging, preparation, and extra middle men, and if she just portioned out a bag of fresh chicken, it would be cheaper dollar per pound.
