Nowadays, people do not need to cook in their houses because there are many places to eat outside. From the perspective of convenience, some people may prefer to eat at restaurants, but I personally believe preparing and eating food at home is much cheaper and more important than eating outside. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explain in the following essay.
To begin with, eating food at home is cheaper than eating out. If we go to a restaurant, we have to pay for additional service fees, but in our house, we can eat without these costs, and we can invite our friends easily. For example, I usually hold a home party every weekend and invite some friends. My friends always bring something, such as wine or food, so we can enjoy a home party together with cheap food. Of course, I sometimes go to restaurants, but I always have to worry about the price because I’ve been saving money, so not only is it cheaper to host a home party, but also eating alone is much cheaper than eating out.
Secondly, restaurants and food stands are always crowded with people, so we have to talk at a high volume. Therefore, we cannot talk easily, and these noises contribute to our stress. On the other hand, eating in a house is comfortable and cozy, so we do not need to worry about our surroundings. In addition, we can watch movies while eating dinner with friends or family. For example, when I was in high school, I used to eat dinner with my family every weekend because my family stressed the importance of eating together because we would be unable to eat together if I moved away., I lived alone, and sometimes these memories are reminiscent of the times I ate dinner with my family when I was growing up. Although eating outside can make memories, I think the memories of eating with my family outweigh the outside memories.
Eating at restaurants and food stands is so much fun, but in terms of costs and important memories with my family, I think eating at home is much cheaper and we can spend valuable time with our family, which would be difficult to come back to when we get our order.
