When ever I hear how expensive it is to cook I know I'm dealing with a young person who's clueless. Have parents not been teaching their kids to cook?!

Reminds me of visiting my niece and her husband for dinner. They never cooked but made a nice meal that night. But they said it just wasn't economical when they totaled the price vs. portions. They did the math and proudly claimed it was cheaper to eat out. My wife and I were stunned.

Well, duh? Now you have leftover ingredients. Add to those and plan another meal. FFS, they had to buy salt and figured that into the total meal price. They literally started with nothing. Yes, it's expensive to spin up a fridge and pantry, but once you're rolling it's cheap to eat.

For what it's worth no, my parents did not teach me how to cook, and none of my friends' parents taught them how to cook either

If only there were some method available, allowing you to search for and obtain information on any possible topic! Maybe in some sci-fi future world, this incredible information resource will also include instructional videos!

To clarify, I can cook, I just had to learn on my own because my parents never taught me
