30 Foods That Are Way Better Homemade Yet People Still Buy Them

I don't know where you live, but here everyone has a moka pot and makes coffee at home, it's simple and very cheap

Generally....juice from concentrate is ''juice'' only by name. Regulations says (art least in UE) If You want name something as juice it has to contains at least 80% of juice. And that is when regulation are stars being tricky....I don't remember exactly how it was ( I graduated studies a 12 yrs ago ;) ) , but concentrate is so ''concentrate'' that You need around 20 ml of it to make 1 liter of ''juice from concentrate'' .In first step You dilute ocncentrate (a small amount to a normal juice, than You dilute it to again to make it a ''juice from concentrate''. I don't remember exactly how high concentration it was but i Think around 20%. So You literally buying a water.... :p . I think it was: Juice: 80% of juice, nectar : 60 % of juice, drink/juice from concenctrate: 20% of juice Sry if i make this comment a little bit unclear, messy and unaccurate, but it's 3 am, I just came back to home and I'm a little bit drunk

Apfelschorle! I thought it was only sold in Germany. But not every brand is the same. There really is a difference. If you have a favorit kind of juice and water though, it‘s of course cheaper to mix it yourself.

Same, more flavour and texture

Yeast is not necessary for pancakes. But you never use flour or sugar? One pack of flour will last two years and costs a fraction of the mix. The mix contains additives to prevent the yeast from reacting with the sugar, which you will eat, too

It's also much easier if you have little kids to buy a "shaker bottle" pancake mix. Just add a cup of water, give it to the kid, let them shake the hell out of it and help pour out the pancakes. Far less effort and lets them think they've helped without most of the mess.

U dont peel them, cut un half twist and scoop

Why do you peel it?

You don’t peel an avocado for guacamole. Just cut it in half, scoop out the big ol seed, then use a spoon to scoop out the rest of the guts. Mash it with salt and lime juice and whatever else you want. Boom done.

LOL

I cut it through the middle, pop out the seed with a spoon, then scoop it out. Easy peasy!

Slice in quarters from stem to root. The peel comes right off and the pit pops right out.

And there's often bits jumping on the counter :(

Interesting. The recipe I have (and like) asks for tomato, garlic, lemon and joghurt

When I want it quick I just mash an avocado with a tbsp of bottled lemon or lime juice, salt to taste, tbsp of lemon pepper, dash of cumin, and a few spoonfuls of of good quality salsa. Easy peasy! (For myself I actually add raw diced red onion and diced Roma tomato and chopped banana pepper and cilantro but I don’t mind the extra work for that because guacamole is one of my fave foods lol i could eat it with a spoon for dinner)

But the best guacamole just has garlic and salt. Lime, if it's available, but not necessary.

Add to that the fact I’m driving a truck with just a tiny dorm fridge. No place to store ingredients!

I can get extra veggies free at mine. Your franchise owner sucks.

your subway sucks.

Yes! A lot of these don't make sense for single people who live alone. Where I live, there are very few things I can buy that won't go bad before I finish them, or that won't leave me eating the same meals every day for a week so as not to waste food because of the way things are packaged.

Learning meat substitutes like bean and chickpea spreads really helped me. One of my favourite sandwiches is onion, tomato, lettuce, cucumber, hummus, and homemade garlic mayo on toasted whole wheat bread. Bonus points for cheese.

What is the problem with eating the same for a week, for standard meals? People eat exactly the same for breakfast, every day. If you buy your toppings at the butchers or dairy shop, you can order the exact amount you need. But it depends on the shopping opportunities where you live. Most toppings can be easily kept in a freezer, so buying cheap in bulk AND eating different things each day are easy

I stopped going to subway when they changed their meatballs and sauce.

yeah whats up with that smell?

They are simple to make, but they take time. And for a lot of people time is more valuable and spent elsewhere

Running your oven for that long could cost more than buying croutons?

Thank you!

Last restaurant I worked in had a recipe where you melt Gorgonzola cheese with salt and olive oil and garlic until it’s a big creamy delicious sauce, and then toss bread cubes in it and toast them in a way that made them crunchy on the outside but still soft and creamy inside. They served them on certain salads and in soups. I was in charge of making them, I used to love swiping a crouton or two to munch on before I washed my hands, it was so yummy!

This is cooking which takes time and requires the cook's supervision. They may be better than store-bought but not everyone wants to stand around the stove.

My mom makes it with bacon grease

Lol croutons are easy! Buy bread, wait until it's stale and in just ten easy steps and a few extra ingredients - you have homemade croutons! .... me opening bag of store bought croutons and eating a whole salad while reading these instructions....

Yeah, the wording of the post reeks of food snobbery. It's like if you're in Paris and a taxi driver asks you what you think of the glass pyramid in front of the Lourve (I.M. Pei!). It's a trick question. If you said you find it cool, it's an eyesore and you have no taste in art. If you say it is a blemish on the building, then it's art! and you have no taste in art. I speak from experience.

Super easy to make on your own with leftover stale bread and they are way better.
