Timely reminder that "Make your own food" people are retarded.Even if you don't take pic related extreme approach. It's more expensive to make your own sandwich>Drive to store costs money and time >$3 for bread>$3 for pack of cheese>about $10 for a couple different packs of deli meat>$2 for a head of lettuce>$0.50 for an onion>$0.50 for tomato>about $5 for mayo and sandwich dressing>= $24 in ingredients and about 15 mins in prep time. You're also making a mess and have to spend time cleaning up/putting extra ingredients awayOr>drive to Subway, spend $14, and eat your sandwich
Lazy fat ass, lol
Stale bait, get new material
>>22282126The usual cope is that with the stuff you bought at the grocery store you could make like, 8-20 sandwiches depending how sparing you are with the ingredients and whether they're open face and if you throw the heels out or not. But yeah unless its something like a steak, or a big soup/stew that will last a week fuck it the gas station egg salad is just as good and takes 0 minutes of your limited time on earth to prepare.
mid food is mid regardless of cost and effort. Not sure why people are expecting miracles
>>22282208buddha teaches how to enjoy less
I bet you anything that's a made up story.Text on picture stories always are
>>22282126>I can't amortize coststhere sure is a retard here
>>22282171There's a ratio of enjoyment to time for some people. I enjoy a home made egg salad so much more than a has station egg salad, that the time difference is irrelevant. >>22282126This is a cooklet & tastelet thread
>be op>suck
It's amazing how there are "people" who genuinely think cooking your own food is wasting money. Like they genuinely only get their food bought. It's amazing.
>>22282126>be me>go to grocery store>buy sacks of potatoes and a cylinder of oats>they store well for a long time, 0 food waste, and taste good>versatile, any fruit or sweet thing can be thrown into the oats and most savory things can be paired with potatoes in some way>just eat them plain anywaysWala. You're eating cheaper and better than subway and you'll be healthier in the end.
>>22283293What if i dont like potatos and oats or dont want to eat like a yugoslavian peasant every single day for years on end
>>22283310You can enjoy early nitrate induced heart disease from your high sodium cured lunch meats then and then your opinion won't matter any more because you'd be dead.
>>22282126>not having your sandwich fingerfucked by an 80 IQ thirdie>priceless
I bought a pomegranate and a medium size jar of mayonnaise at a Food Emporium in NYC and it cost me $15.94.
Honestly once you master how properly shop groceries and stock a freezer and pantry you feel like an absolute fool to order out. I can whip up pretty much anything you could want in my very modest kitchen. I just go to the store to restock every once in a while or to get something that has to be fresh and can't be frozen like vegetables. The cost isn't just lower than going out it's pretty much just zero in my mind since I can go weeks just pulling stuff out of the fridge, freezer and pantry.
>>22282208>ebonics
>>22283313Ok but you're going to die too bud
My favorite iteration of this bait thread I've seen was a guy insisting that it was cheaper to buy a sub because if you bought all the individual ingredients you would just eat them all at once because it's 'human nature'
>>22283360Kek thats hilarious >>22282126Enjoy being perpetually in debt from food deliveries
>>22282389Remember that Futurama episode where the worms got into Fry's brain from an old egg salad sandwich? I cant eat egg salad that isnt homemade for that reason still, to this day kek
You eat Subway. Your opinions on both food and value are entirely invalid.
>>22283360Makes you long for a full loaf of bread sandwich picture, doesn't it?
>>22282126The American mentality on full display: base consumption before all else. 'Why cook healthy whole meals when I could instead get some unhygienic foreign worker to cook me sub-par food and spend that time watching television instead!" This is why old people in America die surrounded not by their family but by unopened Amazon parcels that they squandered their children's inheritance on. Consuming is literally all an American knows.
>>22283411Someone certainly is mental here, yes
>>22282126Yeah but the sandwich you make yourself can taste good unlike Subway.
>>22283385Classic
>>22282126Anon those prices are enough for several sandhich. The subway one is only for one sandwich.>>22282171>goes to cooking board>is to retarded to cookOkay
>grew the veggies and gain>raised the live stock for the meat>wonders why it costs 1500I really hope people aren't falling for this bait.
>>22282126>drive to Subway, spend $14, eat your sandwich, and get AIDSFTFY
For me it's jersey mikes
>>22283319That's why Key Food mogs it
>>22283385I wasn't going to bring that up but yeah, absolutely would never but a gas station EGG anything lol
>>22283313> No in betweenOkay retard
>>22282126Im not reading all that trash>walk into garden in my backyard>get some onions, carrots, and potatoes>make a soup>FOR FREE NIGGA, FREECope and seethe, goy.
>>22282126It's the difference between having a soul and being an NPC, I'd pay $1000 for a meal if that means I get to cook it myself and not some stinky you-know-what
>>22283951>spends countless hours growing and maintaining a gardenI'm sorry your free time is worthless. My free time is incredibly valuable. Ill continue to spend $14 on my Subway Sandwich instead of wasting hours on a garden.
Why not just pay poor people to do things for you?
>>22283293>eats mostly carbsI'd tell you to kill yourself, but you beat me to it.You've got this, bruh.
>>22282126nigga it's a sandwich what the fuck do you mean 15 minutes prep time
>>22283925What about sushi?
>>22284485Also noGrocery store sushi yesGas station no
>>22282126When I was in nursing school I got into an argument in class about own cooking vs. just buying it.I started explaining that you can make a hell of a lot more food with the same money by saying "First off, a bag of carrots is like two bucks..." when I was interrupted by someone clearly smarter than me who went "Oh, so I'm just supposed to have a bunch of raw carrots for dinner??"Everyone there agreed with her and didn't let me finish the other ingredients for food for a week. Fuck nurses. Seriously. (it's all they're good for)
>>22282126>Drive to store costs money and timeIf you get groceries regularly then this is not a factor for the sandwich specifically because you're going to be driving to the store even if you weren't making the sandwich. Including this from the start makes it clear that you're a big fat silly retard. The rest of your post is equally inane and just you telling everyone that you're a shitty cooklet who doesn't know how to use ingredients beyond "make a sandwich."Anyway anime rules and you're a dumb bitch.
>>22284485Gas station sushi? That is fucking horrifying and i feel bad for every fish and crustacean who had to give up their lives to become shitslop. >>22283925Same. Not even the boiled eggs. The only exception is the gas station near me since they have a flat top grill and fry the eggs each morning before making the breakfast sandwiches. No egg pucks or pre formed patties there. Thats the only one i trust.
>>22284425>wasting hours>the garden gives you food after you tend to it>implying growing food is a waste of timeFucking kek, absolutely pathetic waste of space you are. True mongoloid mentality.
>>22283926Potatoes and oats are by far the easiest and most versatile foods with a long shelf life. What else would you choose? Rice, beans, flour? Those are good, yes. Buy a whole chicken and you can use whatever cuts of meat from the chicken and prepare it however you'd like. You could have potatoes, oats, rice, beans, flour, and chicken as your 6 staples and you could probably turn it into 1000 different dishes. Add a simple onion or cucumber or tomato or garlic or other ingredient in once in a while and you basically have infinite dishes. If you're trying to "inbetween" it you're just a retard. 99% of the shit at the grocery store serves zero purpose.
>>22284437>ketardKek. Enjoy dying from heart disease in your 30s.
>>22284654Not him but the purpose is convenience and taste. Why are you buying potatoes, oats, rice, beans, flour, and chicken when you could be producing every single one of those at home? Could it be for convenience?
>>22284670I don't live in a climate where I can grow those things, and even if I did, industrial agriculture beats the cost and output of growing manually.Buying oats, beans, rice, potatoes, flour and chicken is the single best cost/value choice AND flavor choice as opposed to any of the other options (growing food yourself, eating out, or buying hyper-processed food) My argument isn't mindless puritanism like you are strawmanning. My argument is that my choice is the best in terms of cost, value and flavor because it is. Cooking at home is easier and faster than eating out too. Fatasses don't count the time they're driving or waiting for food.
>>22284688The best choice for cost/value and flavor is to cook your own meals and take advantage of more of the grocery store than your mindless retarded puritanism allows for. The "in-between" that you can't wrap your head around is having more than 6 staples available to you for better variety while still eating healthy. Eating beef or pork or turkey as meat generally is not the same as eating ultra-processed nonsense that your strawman is trying to make it out to be.
>>22282126>from scratch Did he forge the elements in the atomic furnace of a star?
>>22284546It's not about facts or logic, it's about asserting dominance.No one wanted to hear your stupid spiel about home cooking that you obviously rehearsed to yourself countless times.The Queen Bee of the group shut you down and everyone agreed.
>suggest that sometimes you just can't be bothered to cook some nights and a $14 sub is not really a big deal to people with big boy jobs>a footlong sandwich is enough for two meals for a single person anyway>person of divergence takes it to mean never ever cook ever just eat out every day three meals a dayit's so tiresome. we need to start gassing autists.
>>22284728he invented the universe
>>22284546you deserve it for going to nursing school
>>22284425I use my free time to trade stocks and make thousands of dollars of extra income. I use that money to buy sandwiches at Subway, which include vegetables that someone was laid to grow.So essentially I'm using my free time to grow vegetables.And so are you.Get rekt faggot.
>>22282126Yeah but growing stuff in a garden is fun, easy and satisfying. Only our rootless international friends reduce everything to expressions of money. Surely you don't think that way, do you?
>>22284848nta but I use my free time to rape you in your sleep
>>22282126I never improvise when cooking. I ask the chatbot for a recipe of a dish I've already had that includes all the ingredients I have handy, and follow that to the letter. And even that's because I am a NEET, otherwise I'd eat out 7 days of the week. Food preparation is a necessary evil and homemade food is always worse than restaurant food unless you're a retard who spends dozens of bux and several hours on a single evening's meal.
>>22284849not everyone finds the same things interesting myopia-kun
>>22284908Yeah like all of the people that hate to cook, but for some reason they still end up posting here.
>Hates cooking>Posts on cooking board
>>22284542I've been debating grabbing Kroger/Zenshi sushi.
>>22284848Gimme some money>>22284849Great looking plants!!
>>22284844I'm a baker's apprentice now. Does that make up for it a little?
>>22284908But the conversation is about whether or not it wastes your time. Even if you don’t find it interesting, you produce something to eat unless you suck at it>>22284999It’s not great but if I’m shopping while hungry it’s nice to eat immediately when i get home. The shitty part is that its almost as expensive as restaurants around
>>22284624My wife and I barely tend to our gardens and we get food. idk exactly what she does with her stuff but I just toss seeds in the dirt, water occasionally and viola davis: food. I spend more time getting dressed in the morning than I do tending the garden.
>>22285009It does
>>22284425>My free time is incredibly valuableYou post on 4chan and can say that?
>>22284809>can't be bothered to cook some nights and a $14 sub is not really a big deal to people with big boy jobsSo you're admitting so being a lonely loser with no life, no wife and no kids? Yeah. We're all jealous that you cut a wife and kids out of your budget so you can fit in more funko pops and subway. You should be proud.
nigga up here seething about buying a sandwich
>>22285088t. pic rel
>>22284453Gotta slice up all the vegetables and open everything up, retard.
>>22284809Which poster were you? Because OP just blanket said that people with the mentality of making your own food are retarded. If you were OP then yeah it's fair to say you're a takeout-addicted person who never cooks if you think people who want to cook their own food are retarded.
I've been making pitas at homeI could go out to a place that makes them and pay like $8 a pop or I can make it at home for $1The most expensive part far and away is the meat and even that isn't that much
