Chances are, if you're making a meal at home, you're going to end up with leftovers. That's your lunch at work. Soups and stews make for a ton of leftovers. Make some chili. Just going to jump on that last point. The economies of scale in mass food production mean that making some things from scratch is more expensive than just buying them. Frozen pizzas with toppings are probably cheaper than making them yourself (either way is hilariously cheaper than ordering delivery). Compare costs whenever you’re looking at making something from scratch vs buying ready off the shelf. It’s a giant PITA, but that’s sort of where you’re at. Some fruit and vegetables are hilariously cheap. They’re also filling, good for you, and aren’t difficult to prepare. Typically, grocers will charge you extra for very minor prep work (cutting a melon, de-husking corn, etc) — they also sell produce unworked. Don’t pay them extra to pre-prep your produce and make it spoil faster. At my local grocer, de-husked corn is more than 2x the cost of locally sourced sweet corn with the husk. If you have a friend that’s good at cooking, ask them to teach you how to hold and use a knife. It’s not difficult, but also not intuitive. Failing a friend, look at some YT vids or something. Last thing you need is an ER trip from a slipped knife.
