Cooking from scratch and home cooking is quickly becoming a lost art. The craft and skill has been a generational pass down from mother to daughter for ages. In today's rushed paces and fast food restaurants when both the husband and wife are working full-time hours it seems that home cooking is becoming unheard off. Women being homemakers and masters of their own homes is considered archaic and stereotyped as a woman being bound in slavery to the house and her husband but, further from the truth life in reality just is not that way. I recently became widowed so now I tend to go to fast food for a little something for breakfast or a restaurant to get away from the house.
Yes, one saves a great deal of money cooking at home. Being a professional homemaker I budget and plan my meals and purchase only those things that are on my list. I check adds and watch for coupons and special deals and note which commissaries in my area have better deals.
As an example of the savings let me take McDonald's for breakfast. Fairly inexpensive fare for fast food, it has breakfast items for $1.50 in my area. I stop to get (usually when I need to go to the downtown VA) the sausage and egg croissant and hash brown patty.
Let's see the comparison:
$1.50 egg & sausage croissant $.41 potato patty
$1.50 Total $.31 sausage patti
$.07 egg
$.24 croissant
$1.03 Total
Now granted the savings is only $.47 but, every little bit counts in this age of increasing costs and decreasing incomes. The main problem is many folks these days just do not want to make the time to do things at home. When I see peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, mashed potatoes simple snack bags of nuts and cheeses being pre-packaged and found in the fronzen isle really makes me wonder ....
