Eating out is always more expensive than preparing food at home, but it’s worth it as long as you order something you can’t easily make on your own. These surprisingly pricy options don’t really fall under that category.
Pasta
Pasta is one of the most popular dishes at pretty much every restaurant because it’s instantly familiar. People know exactly what to expect from it since we’ve all made it at home on our own and fed our whole family for less than the price of a single plate at a restaurant.
Omelet
You’ve got to crack a few eggs to make an omelet, but if you’re not willing to do it yourself, it’s going to cost you extra. This is a breakfast menu essential and it usually costs much more than a whole egg carton.
Pancakes
Pancakes are made out of super cheap and basic ingredients, but they can still cost a lot when you’re eating out. Instead of ordering them during brunch with your friends, you can simply host the gang at home and you’ll probably have a lot of fun making them together.
