Dumbasses who say crap like that are lazy. You can eat healthy on a budget if know how to cook.

Any time some moron tells me its "cheaper to eat out" I just laugh at them.
How could it possibly EVER be cheaper to eat out when you realize that you are paying for labor, the building, the taxes, the deliveries, etc... of the business?
No, it is not cheaper to eat out and never has been. You are just lazy and stupid. I had to break it down for some Idiot I knew a while back on how we could eat for most of the week off of very little money despite being able to spend much more if we wanted it.
Here is what it comes down to. Cook your own food. Plan your meals ahead. Do prep. If your spending lines up with sale days take advantage of that (yeah, knowing when its SNAP/EBT day will save you money). Don't let things go to waste. Throw leftovers in a pan with some eggs and now its a scramble..
You will be healthier, you will spend less money and it only takes a few hours a week at most if you do it right.

Once I got an Italian sandwich from a pizza place for $10. I felt like that was kind of steep, so next time I got the ingredients from the supermarket for $30 and got three sandwiches out of it.

Stuff like that can be an outlier, you might only need three slices of tomato for a sandwich but you're still buying the whole tomato. Making sure you utilize the food you buy in different ways until it is gone helps.

It depends on the food and what/how you do it.
I didn't say you are going to get the exact same thing but at the same time you are getting better quality still. At least in the USA nearly every single place is using SYSCO so you are getting the same garbage anywhere you go, it's just dressed up differently.
You have to also take into account if you "made it the same". When you are not doing prep and meal planning you tend to make things larger than what you would get out of something from a to-go place.

You can put $15 worth of groceries in a slow cooker on low heat, go ski for 6hrs or so and come back to 8 or so meals worth of food. That comes out to ~$2/meal for an hour of prep at most. You can't even get a soda or tea for $2 at a restaurant.
Taco meat is even easier/cheaper/quicker to make.

Also, most butchers have bone packs for bone broths for a few bucks. If you grow your own garlic, ginger, onions, and carrots, then you just add some water in the slow cooker and 24 hours later you have bone broth. Make sure to get the marrow.

It really isn’t more exspensive to eat better.

Yeah what they really mean is prepackaged "healthy" food is expensive. They're too dumb to figure out what's actually healthy so they think it's about buying gimmick products like Nutella or that new overpriced soda that claims to be healthy. (It's not)

I buy meat whole sale. When I slice it up myself. It ends up saving over 45 bucks. You have to have the deal mentality. The slicing does take some times and the vacuum sealer yeah but it pays for itself. Gotta think about shit. And laziness cost more

another $4 and you got a large container of italian breadcrumbs and use an empty bread bag to shake up your chicken and half the bread crumbs are still left for the next time. Way easy to eat smart. Buy the hamburger 5 lbs and put the rest for the next day or after in a tuperware or ziplock "can be reused" in the coldest area of the frig mine almost refreezes in the fridge. You can bake 10 lbs of potatoes at a time to save gas electicity and have a week worth that won't sprout eyes but can be mashed hash browns or just microwaved and reheated potatoes for dinner in 5 minutes not another 40 if you make each meal again. American chop suey made with much more veggies even frozen bags and it's far healthier than spaghetti or mac and cheese in a box since it's got all the veggies in the cheap bags for like $2 at walmart or other stores brand name veggies.
