^This. I save a lot of money myself by eating out or only buying grocery necessities. Often times Japanese homemade meals are a lot more intricate than their western counterparts, requiring a lot of ingredients that either aren't very versatile in their cooking means, or aren't really standalone foods. Essentially, you'll probably end up spending more money to obtain all of the ingredients of a proper Japanese meal than it would have been to eat out or whatever. Also, I myself am quite an impatient person, so time to cook said meals is also a factor for me.


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
