[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cooking at home is only meaningful cheaper when you kind of specialize in a type of food and have a lot of the ingredients in stock. I find that Italian cooking, for example, is not that cheap. Often I have to buy a bottle of wine (not a drinker here). And then I need to buy some kind of diary that goes bad, like cream or half and half, or sour cream. That stuff adds up.

Chinese cooking, in contrast, I find to be much more economical. A lot of the ingredients are shelf stable or can keep for a long time (soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic etc). [/quote]

When I buy wine for cooking, I buy cheap wine. Maybe if I'm making something fancy I will upgrade, but if I just need something to cook down into a sauce, I will happily buy a $6 wine. Whole Foods has a "Three Wishes" brand wine that is super cheap and I often grab if I need a wine reduction for just a weeknight sauce.[/quote]

Vermouth or dry sherry are also great - keep forever in the fridge and perfect for deglazing. [/quote]
