I've been trying to figure out if my meal prep actually saves me money or if it's just a myth I tell myself. After tracking a week of groceries for homemade lunches versus buying takeout, I found homemade ran about $3.50 per meal, while eating out was closer to $9. Sure, prep takes time on Sundays, but I also waste less food now. Do you think meal prepping is genuinely cost-effective for most people, or does it only work if you already have good cooking habits?
