Hey everyone...
I was just thinking... I don't eat at home very often (I don't know how to cook much, and I don't have a very well setup kitchen) ... When I DO eat at home, its usually TV dinner type crap or frozen pizzas.
When it comes to eating/cooking REAL food... Chicken.. Fresh veggies... etc... Typicially, how expensive is it? (for one person)
I'm finally going to break down and buy the equipment I need to outfit my kitchen properly, however, I'm a little concerned about the price of fresh ingedients. Once I stock up on all the stuff that you can keep for long periods (flour, sugar, oils, etc etc...) ... Is it expensive to cook your own meals with fresh ingredients?
Sorry for the not-so specific question... I'm on Disability so money is really tight... I just want to make sure I'm not going to blow all this money on cookwear and stuff, then find out I can't afford to buy the fresh ingredients on a regular basis.
As long as it turns out close to the price of eating pre-prepared/fast food I think I'll be OK budget wise.
Any information/thoughts you could share would be appreciated!
Thanks!
