is food always worth it?

[Ziskinberg]

Yes, food should always be prioritized. Without foods, people will lost the means to survive. That is why no matter how tight is your budget, food should always be on top of the list. Especially if you have kids at home that are always looking forward to eat sumptuous foods.

However, despite of this reality, we should still learn to cut cost on food expenses, and get rid on those junk foods and sodas that can only threaten the health of the family. Regardless if you are on tight budget or not, foods that are not essential for us should always be reduced or limited.

when asked, what is something you can't give up even when cutting costs?, people often say food that they always want delicious food but is food always worth it? my answer is NO. it is not worth eating out all the time. do not use the justification that since it is a basic necessity you have to buy expensive food all the time. you can still eat delicious food even if we are cutting costs

How do you cut down food because if I don't eat good food, I don't think well at that time. I must eat well to be able to work well, so what are you really saying about cutting the cost of food. You want to be eating pasta made with seasoning and then go to sleep after the work. The body isn't wire to eat 3 times a day that I believe but saying one should cut down food cost, if you are want to be leave a good health, you have to eat expensive food.

Let's say you want to safe cost truly, there are other means you can do it. If you wear expensive cloths and designer, you can use that as an opportunity to reduce how you bought such item, it's will help you save a lot but you wouldn't know how expensive all this designers looks like. If you are eating good meal that look expensive it's means you are improving your immune system, not every money can give you a very good health so spend all the ves

Food is one of the basic necessities of life, so any money spent on feeding it’s always worth it , you can deprive me from lot of things but not food, the only cutting cost down I can understand is instead of buying food costly at the eatery or restaurant it’s better you go to market and get the food stuff and get yourself a homemade food that is the only cut down I can understand because buying it outside is really expensive and many not get satisfied enough, so good food should be prioritize and live a healthy life .

But if one can afford those expensive foods from the restaurant and still have enough to solve other basic needs and also invest it's their comfort. Not everyone has the time to visit the market regularly so they take advantage of food vendors and restaurants due to the nature of their job. Besides what might seem expensive to one fellow might be much more affordable to the next the primary objective as rightly said is to prioritise healthy food because the first wealth is our health before other forms of investment.

Expensive food isn't necessarily nutritious, and you can make adjustments regarding this issue. What do you need? Is it expensive food or nutritious food? If you don't want to buy expensive ready-made food, you can buy ingredients and prepare them yourself at home. This is much more economical and I usually buy some necessities for my wife to cook at home so I don't have to spend a lot of money on nutritious food. I do this to save money even when the economy isn't going well.

Frugality is fine, but our bodies need nutritious food, so even when someone is on a cost-cutting program, these needs must be met. I'm looking for solutions like buying raw materials and maybe the price is also cheaper so that everything can be processed at home to save money and we can still enjoy nutritious food as the body needs because you don't have to sacrifice nutritious food for the family because you are looking for reasons.

To live a healthy and beautiful life in your daily life, it is necessary to eat a balanced diet. We cannot think about anything except food because if we do not eat food, we will get sick. To reduce expenses, it is not enough to choose only food, we also have to reduce other unnecessary expenses in daily life. You can eat good food by reducing expenses in food. We waste our money by eating random food at different times, we have to stop these. If we can live a healthy life by stopping random expenses and spending less on food then it will save us a lot.

That's right. And by the way, I never even buy semi-finished products. Well, there are all kinds of cutlets or minced meat, or even dumplings. It's also unknown what's mixed in there. Minced meat for cutlets is simply and quickly made in an electric meat grinder. If the situation is such that you need to eat urgently, then I buy pies with fruit or berry filling - it's safer than meat filling or even more fish filling.

I'm not particularly picky, but I even try to bake my own pies. Yes, it's time-consuming, but it's worth it. I even had to learn this process. Meanwhile, the quality of food in stores is deteriorating every day, and prices are rising. It's hard to afford better quality products anymore. I can't treat myself to something exquisite and unique. I cook myself almost daily to ensure the food is always fresh. I don't like it when food sits in the refrigerator for several days.

A large part of the income of the common people is spent on food. And this expenditure is normal. If someone there normally consumes healthy food, then the expenditure of the person is also at a normal level. But the common people spends most of the time unnecessarily on food. Most of the time, they do not eat healthy food and spend more on unhealthy food. If we do not spend on this unnecessary expenditure on food, then we will save a lot of money and also our health will be good. That is why each of us should gain awareness about food consumption.

If an ordinary person and the right salary is earned by each family member, the majority of their income will be spent on food, and then followed by bill payments. This includes the electric and water bill, internet, house/apartment rental, and others.

There are no expenses that are not expected, such as going shopping at the mall with your family, and others like housing and car loans if they have taken any.
It depends on their monthly salary.

Food considered "delicious and luxurious" doesn't necessarily mean it's nutritious, right? So I think we can still enjoy delicious and nutritious food. Usually, people just want validation from the food they eat, because most of them post it on social media. Except for the upper class, where they're used to it.
As long as we're financially sound, it's perfectly acceptable. However, I've seen some of my friends go to fancy restaurants just to look cool on social media. It's not commensurate with what they have (I know my friends well, so I can say this).

Perhaps your friends are still desperate for validation, being seen as rich by others, even though in reality they're still poor, yet they continue to insist on being seen as rich by others. In fact, such people aren't worthy of being friends because they're already that way even though they're not rich yet. What's more, once they become truly rich, they'll surely be even more arrogant to others by constantly flaunting their wealth on social media every day. Because you yourself know that truly rich people are not like that and in fact, quite a few truly rich people always appear simple and don't often upload things like that to their own social media.

Yes, she does crave validation. It's not that she meant to badmouth him behind his back, but it's not just her; some of her friends do too. She also hangs out with people who are financially better off, and when her friends post something luxurious, it's simply her lifestyle, and she can afford it.
Unlike my friend, she's actually just trying to show off her luxurious lifestyle, even though it's not really that way. Those closest to her already know about her behavior.

I agree with your statement about reducing eating out and instead making your own food at home. In the food industry, vendors typically take a 50-70% profit, and that really impacts budgeting. Regarding expensive food, I think if it's fancy food, you should avoid it. I personally prefer food with healthy ingredients, even if it's a bit pricey. I once tried buying food outside and making it myself. The result was a nearly 50% difference in costs, which surprised me. Now, I often cook at home. Even with quality and healthier food, there's still about a 20% difference in costs compared to eating out, which is often unhealthy, like fast food.

The thing is, it's different for everyone. Some people might earn nothing and be a homebody. Others might be the boss at work, so their time is very valuable and it's much easier for them to order food than to spend a lot of time and effort preparing it. But on average, it's much cheaper for all of us to cook from store-bought food than to order ready-made food or go to a cafe.
Although I understand that everyone wants variety in food and wants to try new, ready-made things.

[Fiasem20]

In my own perspective, food always worth it because it plays a vital role in our body, it nourishes the body and gives us energy to do work.You work and at the end of the day,week or month you get paid,so why can't you budget the money on local food items that will sustain you till the next time you get paid.Remember that if not for food that you've been eating from the day you came out from your mother's womb till date, what would have sustained your breath to this day?so in essence we eat to stay alive.Don't eat to show off like purchasing expensive foods from a restaurant, rather buy healthy food items like vegetables and proteins and prepare healthy meals yourselves in order to cut unnecessarily feeding costs.

Even with quality and healthier food, there's still about a 20% difference in costs compared to eating out, which is often unhealthy, like fast food.

One way is to ask your wife to learn about fancy restaurant-style menus often posted on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. I've asked my wife to cook for me, but I still have to write down the ingredients beforehand so we can shop even if she doesn't have time.

The taste is quite good, and the difference in taste isn't much compared to that of a skilled chef at a restaurant. If we convert the price to the same menu at a place that serves special prices, like you mentioned, we can save over 50%, and it's not just the two of us who enjoy it, but the kids too.

Saving is necessary, but it's not mandatory or forced. It's important to remember that there are still needs and unexpected expenses that will arise later. We can save on one budget item. Imagine if other budget items could be rationalized further, that would be even better because we know that money, when we have a family, is always enough, but it's never enough every month.

Another thing is, there are still people who have limited knowledge about cooking, yes they cook but in some other times, they just prefer dining out or take out so they can also eat other variety of foods. I have to admit, I'm not really good in cooking, so I just keep buying foods outside trying to order different menus that could satisfy my hungry stomach. However, I'm also doing my best learning how to cook, but there are times really that we want to try new foods that are new to our taste, and that could mean another expenses, but if you are earning well, why not? Food is life especially for those who loves to keep eating.

Smile honestly it worth it, before looking at it critically let us understand what exactly is food can our bodies do without food ?

FOOD can be seen as what your body  takes to stay strong,  alive, and health life to function properly.
Any attempt for you to stay without food you know what that means.
It really worth it to eat food, because there is nothing that man is hustling for if not for stomach sake,  remember health is wealth you need to remain alive to make good money, and the only thing to keep you alive is nothing but food.
So it worth it.

The title of your thread ix little misleading because you didn't mention that you are talking about eating out. At first I thought that you mean is it ok to cit costs on food overall. To be short, for me eating out is luxury and should be exercised moderately, or out of necessity. But to save costs on nutricious food that can be cooked at home is not something I'd be happy to do. You have to consider if you eat unhealthy food that it can increase risks of health issues in future, so it should be careful when you do it. Ofcourse, if one has no other choice it has to be done.

This means he's just showing off his fake facade to the public to appear rich, even though it's actually nothing. And usually, it's only believed by other poor people who fundamentally don't realize it's just a fake facade being flaunted by a poor person desperate to be rich like everyone else. My advice: just stay away from people like that in your life, because they're usually very prone to lying about anything and therefore unworthy of being close friends in everyday life.

Yes, and generally, people will use the excuse that it's a basic need because in reality delicious food doesn't always have to be purchased people can prepare it themselves at home. I'm fortunate enough to have a wife who's a good cook, and I can probably enjoy all the delicious and tasty food at home because all she needs to do is buy the ingredients and make it at home, so I don't have to spend so much money on buying it out.

Humans need nutritious food, and cutting costs just for the sake of saving isn't worth it. What's needed is a way to maintain our consumption of nutritious food. My method might be an alternative so you can save money while still enjoying delicious, nutritious food because it's quite a shame that we save money but our bodies don't get enough nutritious which healthy food..

It's important to eat healthy food to stay fit rather then eating expensive junk food which in turn makes you sick. There is nothing wrong in giving yourself and your family an occasional treat by going to restaurant once in a week but don't make it a habit that since you can afford outside food you eat it on regularly basis. Those who consume too much junk food end up developing different diseases like diabetes or blood pressure. Health is precious gift from God and we can only take good care of it by eating healthy food and doing regular exercise.
