If you’re a single person cooking for one and you want to have something good and different every night, it’s definitely cheaper to eat out. You don’t spend time cooking or driving around for groceries and you don’t have to worry about anything going bad. Obviously it’s cheaper to eat spaghetti 7 days straight but a lot of us don’t wanna do that
I live alone and cook. You can make individual small meals (it’s easy to grill one burger or boil a small thing of couscous) or you can cook larger meals but alternate between them every day. I shop ingredients in bulk, and when needed I just freeze stuff so I can use it all over the course of months (I have massive bricks of frozen cheese)
