Food from restaurants can cost significantly more than food cooked at home. A plate of pasta with red sauce can cost less than a dollar if made at home; at most restaurants it will cost you well over $10.

Paying for prepared meals is convenient and tasty, but it’s also more expensive and usually less healthy. When cooking at home, try to reduce meat consumption to save money.
