it's way cheaper to buy a bag of self rising flour, and active yeast, make your own bread. and grow your own potatoes endlessly from making seed potatoes from half of every potato you harvest.
but litterally that my point, your talking a $8 difference depending on your region between ingredients and prepared. -- delivery fees vary wildly, I've gotten $40 worth of food with a $4 delivery fee... then a few months later ordered a single pizza to share that costed me $50 and a $18 delivery fee, because it had 3 toppings and was Sicilian style...
It's fascinating to me how you managed to contradict your own argument with this comment, that it's actually more expensive to order out than it is to buy groceries and even factoring in 'labour costs' to make your own dinner.
We literally do that. You can grow potatoes in dollar store plastic pots. You can make your own bread and just let it rise while you sit on your ass. There are so many small things anyone can do anywhere to save money. My partner and I drink every day and it's expensive. So next week we're starting a home brew to help cut alcohol expenses.
