Yeah I feel like the headline is intentionally bait-y here.
Eating out adds up fast, and if you’re on a limited budget, of course you’re going to start cooking more. Even if we’re generous with the word “cooking” to include things like cereal and sandwiches. And of course you’re going to reevaluate your shopping when money is tight. Lock down to the essentials to stretch that paycheck.
The people who complain about their finances while simultaneously eating out 3x a day and buying shit they don’t need are digging their own holes. Spend the money on shit you DO need and save the rest.
Same. I tried doing the meal kit things to make it a bit less painful but I just really really hate every part of cooking. I’d rather do dishes for an hour every day than cook.
Sounds like y’all want one pot, sheet pan, or dump meals. Those meal kits give you a bunch of cooking to do so you don’t feel like you wasted your money. Cooking everything at once does restrict you somewhat, but not as much as just eating sandwiches.

Peanut butter and banana sandwiches have become a staple for me over the last couple years. So long ordering out every day. I hate cooking.

I hate cooking too… The secret is, you don’t actually have to put in love or care to achieve a good result.
You just have to optimize
