People Are Sharing The Foods They Don't Understand Why People Would Buy, Because They're Waaay Better When Homemade

"Note: As many redditors have pointed out in the original thread, these examples are not to discredit how useful pre-prepared foods are to those who are disabled or have a super packed schedule. There's nothing wrong with buying these from the store - we all do (I say, with a jar of pasta sauce literally sitting on my counter right now). There's no shame in it!"

"Having said that, buying guacamole confounds me, unless you don't have access to avocados, need a ton of guac for a party, or have a good Mexican grocer nearby where you can get quality guac. Making guac at home takes maybe five minutes, and it tastes substantially better than store-bought. Like, I can get really good bread and pasta from the store, but any guac I could buy near me isn't gonna hold a candle to homemade."

Fifteen store-bought items are often cheaper, fresher, and tastier when made at home. Examples include coffee, guacamole, stock, pasta, and bread. Homemade preparations can be quick—guacamole takes about five minutes—and can outperform store alternatives in flavor and cost. Automated or scheduled appliances like coffee makers provide convenience and value compared to daily purchases. Pre-prepared foods remain important for people with disabilities or very busy schedules. The suggestions serve as optional, practical tips to improve everyday meals and reduce spending.
