What mix are you using? Every mix I've ever used has been awful.

Not worth making from scratch - falafel. The mix is just as good, more tender, much easier.

You might like the book “Buy the bread, make the butter”.

Pasta and bread. Bread assumes you can go to the bakery and get it. Otherwise my focaccia is worth it.

There are lots of things not worth making from scratch - brownies, cake, ice cream, pasta sauce (there are some really good jarred ones).
Two things that will always be worth it: mashed potatoes and meatballs

How else would you make rice, other than from scratch?

Funny. I would only leave soup and pie crust on your worth it list, but upgrade cakes off your not worth it list.

I make nothing from scratch. Way too much work.

For me:
1-I love brownies, but box brownies with some extra chocolate chips etc if needed work fine. Homemade brownies don’t taste that much better to me. (But let me know if you have a recipe that will change my mind.)
2-cinnamon buns. The frozen ones at the store or bakery are just not as good.
