But my salary doesn’t :( I am not a good cook. Wish there were more economical options like food trucks, in Bellevue.
Learn to cook :(
So much free content on YouTube about making cheap meals
there are food trucks in different parts of bellevue. not so sure there are "cheap" ones.
Cooking is a skill that you’ll need to practice. you won’t become a 3 star Michelin Chef anytime soon, but definitely good enough to feed yourself pretty quickly. 2 YouTube channels to consider: Internet Shaquille Example video: https://youtu.be/osv72OeCpR0 And Pro Home Cooks https://youtu.be/FXonFrCViJw
Also get yourself a good chef knife like a Victorinox 8 inch, not those knife blocks that come with many crap knives. And a large wooden cutting board, not those small plastic ones
Cooking is easy and fun. Just be open to attempt and learn.
Learn easy simple. Recipes. Get an instapot or anything that will speed it up. The problem with takeout or restaurant food is that they use the cheapest oil like soy oil, loads is salt and sugar. that is bad for your health.
Wait until you learn how to cook and see the price of groceries! Eating out is sometimes a cheaper option!
Cooking your own food can save a lot of money for you and will be much healthier option.
If you haven’t already, invest in Uber One since they have plenty of deals that will save you money. Alternatively, try getting a Costco or Sam’s membership as they have precooked food that should be easy to heat up and isn’t too hard on the wallet. I eat out all the time and still save money doing this. You could also try some services such as Hello Fresh and BlueApron that help in providing simple meals that you just have to heat up. Cooking is a fool’s endeavor anyways; between shopping for ingredients, prepping them, cooking and then cleaning them, you’ll be spending way too much time; people in this thread don’t understand how time-expensive cooking is, especially when you have things to do. It’ll be a severe hit to your QOL, and the time you spend cooking can never be reclaimed. Good luck, OP. TC: 90K, proud Uber One subscriber since 2021
With all that extra free time you should have a higher TC
Thank you, will try
Food trucks are not cheaper than takeout, about the same price usually
