Ordering Takeout

campusfood = the nuts

[censored] eating out, buy a wok and season that beast until it's rusty. If it still doesn't taste as good, buy some msg and add more grease.

how much does the average day cost in food alone for you take out guys?

Obviously making your own food is 1) cheaper and 2) better for you, but it's also time-consuming. Last night, I cooked spaghetti and some chicken breasts. Then some broccoli and the pasta... it took a good 45 minutes. Made grecian chicken out of some of the breasts and have enough food for a week.

As for the average day cost for take-out, when I go out for lunch - it averages about $10. Guessing here, but I'd estimate 3 meals out a day would be $25 - $30.

Same with stopping into Moe's or Willie's and picking up a burrito for $6 that is absolutely delicious. There is no way I can make an equivalent burrito for that cheap.

While I loves me some Willy's or Moe's, you can make the exact same burrito for REALLY cheap. Do you not realize how inexpensive a spoonfull of beans, rice, and chicken, plus a little bit of lettuce, tomato, and seasonings are?

I do love Willy's, though.

True, but unfortunately the Safeway across the way from me doesn't sell these things in spoonfuls. So after spending $10+ on beans, rice, chicken, lettuce, tomato and seasonsings, I am under the gun to eat many spoonfuls in a short period of time in order to get ROI. And that would get old fast. So instead I should just go to Willy's and not have to deal with any of this.

I probably spend about $20.

I eat out almost always, I don't cook anything at home other than prepackaged stuff. I live alone and its just not worth the hassle of cooking for one.

Tup,

Refrigerator, spice rack, and a little creativity FTW.

But I do still love me some Willy's!
