I need somebody to explain to me how cooking from scratch is more expensive. I have been cooking my whole life both personally and professionally. I have an entire notebook filled with my own recipes. I have 3 children under the age of 9 and a pregnant wife, if I take them to a sit down restaurant it will cost me at least $50. $50 at the grocery store will buy the ingredients for a full meal. I'm talking meat, potatoes (rice, bread, whatever starch), vegetable. I will have leftovers for the next few days and ingredients for another dish. I don't believe I could feed my family on our income if we didn't cook from scratch most days of the month.

You are doing it right. Pass those skills down to next generations. Very important culturally too
I have my 8 year old learning to use a chef's knife. Makes me damn near crap my drawers, but he does well.
