In the US, it is a hell of a lot cheaper to cook for yourself than to eat out. For poorer folks, it is the only option, or ramen.

Ramen is cooking for yourself! It's very expensive if you eat out[0].

I meant instant ramen. I put ramen in a different category as that takes much less time than cooking from raw ingredients.
