I can go to the store and buy a boxed of mac and cheese or a frozen pizza for a quite low price. These things will fill you up, but they probably won't be healthy for you.</p>\n<p>The upside is they will be very cheap.</p>\n<p>To contrast a pizza and mac and cheese from a restaurant will be much more expensive. </p>\n<p>The thing that really gets you is when you try to eat healthy at home. Buying fresh fruits and vegetables can be very costly. Especially if you are trying to stick with mostly organic or all natural items.</p>\n<p> Here is a great example: Let's say the typical weekly grocery bill for my wife and I is $100 per week. Based on that number, we have itemized our bill over a several week period. We were able to find that 60% of our total bill was just fresh fruits and vegetables. That means $60 of the $100 we spent that week was fresh produce.</p>\n<p>If you compare that to eating out at McDonald's five times a week for the two of us, that would be about $50 per week. </p>\n<p>Of course if we went to a more expensive restaurant, then it might be a little more even. </p>\n<p>Like I said, a lot of it just depends on what you eat and where you eat when you go out.</p>\n<p>My wife and I prefer to eat out only once a week. Everything else is food that we prepared ourselves at home. There are many things that actually just taste better when they are home made. </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fkfbds28x","appParentAuthor":"abisola12","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
