shine.
The more people you’re feeding, the easier it can be to spread the cost of ingredients across multiple meals.
But when you’re one person?
That’s where things get interesting.
The “Per Meal” Calculation Is What People Forget
I think this is the part that gets lost.
People compare:
$15 restaurant meal
to
$15 worth of groceries.
But that’s not actually the right comparison.
A better question is:
How many meals do those groceries actually produce for me?
If $60 of groceries gives you ten meals, that’s $6 per meal.
