[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP the economic difference is that you are cooking for scratch for one dish while people who cook from scratch do it for everything and practice meal planning. I'm not a cook from scratch person and my experience is the same as yours, when I decide to do it for a dish it costs a lot. I think people who cook from scratch also cook in particular styles. They are not making asian ginger inspired dishes one night and 4 choose ravioli the next night. If you stay within the same ethnic range, you will have diversity but re-use many of the same spices and staples. Cook from scratch people also can buy in bulk and freeze things. It would be cheaper for me to buy chicken breasts at Costco but it take us a year to get around to cooking them so when we cook chicken we buy just what we need at the grocery store which is must more costly. On produce, cook from scratch people also probably have more recipes and can work with whatever is in season which is much, much cheaper. [/quote] I agree with this. [/quote]
