Same answer as to CXORA above. From my experience quality food is usually more expensive. You can also compare something healthy you cook vs something unhealthy you throw into microwave.
It’s still going to be cheaper to cook whatever it is from scratch than buying it pre-made. Unless you’re intentionally buying expensive versions of every ingredient.
Not really if you know how to cook.
It’s more expensive in time and energy, though.
