Hard to tell now. The reason I still prefer cooking to eating out is because that's the only way I can be SURE of what I am eating. 362 Likes 22 Shares |

Eating out is more cost effective. Additionally, you get to eat varieties. For example, You can use N3,000 to cook a restaurant standard soup minus Eba. Then you keep eating the same soup over and over. But with that N3,000, you can eat rice, okro soup, eat melon, eat bitterleaf soup at different times plus garri in a restaurant or mamaput depending on your location...if we are to assume a plate of food to be N500. You can add extra if you want. Notwithstanding the gas, water, stress and time used to cook that food. And imagine warming a pot of soup over and over for someone without a refrigerator or electricity let alone the cost of fuel and maintenance of generator if inclusive. But if two or more persons are involved, cooking is preferable. It is worthy of note that the criterion for judgement here is relating eating out to cooking considering a particular amount of money. 365 Likes 21 Shares |

No matter how, cooking will always be cost effective. For you to eat satisfactorily in any mamaput these days, you will have at least 1,000 Let say you want to eat 1,000 food in the morning, eat snacks of 300 in the afternoon and another 1,000 meal as dinner. This will amount to 16,100 in a week and 69,000 in a month of 30 days. Now, if you use 69,000 to get raw food. Analysis: If you look out to fill your gas from the seller selling in bulk you will fill at an average of 700/kg. You will fill 12.5kg cylinder with 9,000 transport included. Out of 69,000. 1 12.5kg gas +transport fare = 9,000 1. ½ bag of rice = 15,000 2 Bean = 5,000 3. Semi 10kg = 6,000 4. Garri = 3,000 5. Yam = 5000 Ingredients for cooking soup eg: Palm oil, seasoning and others =5,000 Balance = 26,000 Out of the remaining 26,000 Budget 4,000 for soup and the transport fare to buy the ingredients every week. Remaining 6,000 can be kept for miscellaneous and evening suya and Pepsi while returning from work. 120 Likes 10 Shares |

[/quote][quote author=Bluezy13 post=113140950]Eating out is more cost effective.My guy come try eating out for Benin city make you know wetin life de talk You go chop 1200 naira worth food in the afternoon, you go hungry before 45mins Am safe to conclude, You might probably be in one of those northern states where foodstuffs and restaurants food's are excessively cheap and served in large quantities Over here in Benin 2 meat= 200 each 4 wraps of fufu (the size of a 1 year old baby's fist) = 100 naira each Vegetables soup= 150 Orha soup= 150 Egusi and ogbonor= free As for spoon Rice= 400 (na that one aldut fit eat) 2 meat= 200 each Spaghetti= 200 Or 2 meat= 200 each Boiled Beans=200 Rice=300 4 pieces of Dodo (fried plantain) =150 Boiled egg = 100 naira In the evening Palm Oil beans = 250 (na that one aldut fit eat) Bread (small) = 150 Pap = 200 Milk = 250 Sugar (optional)=50 Calculate all those prices for a week, then you'll know nothing beats cooking at home even if it involves gas, stove, firewood or even electric plates. As for variety, won't argue that, but cooking at home has its own advantage, as you can add what and what were not added to the recipe But eating out variety or not, is darn expensive 28 Likes 2 Shares |
