Been spending way too much money on food takeout

I used to be able to buy food / takeout like twice a week. Now I really need to start learning to prep my meals. Spending like hundreds on food due to laziness and stress from working healthcare. Im always sick due to my acute bronchitis. But damn...

Just buying food to prep from the grocery store is expensive these days.

Yeah it's when you get in exhausted like "I've earned this" which we absolutely have but it just builds up fast.

I've found doing turmeric/indian lentil mash over egg fried rice is cheap and nice, can get a few portions out of it. Halloumi/falafel salads are lovely and quick to make.

@Ryannnnnn coincidence you say that I actually want to work with lentils! Are they hard to prepare?

Last year I got to the point I was picking up food almost every day. But I worked 60-80 hours a week & never spent time at home unless I was sleeping. It became habit because I didn't have time to prepare food.

Main reason I stopped was because it was expensive.. but it also was unhealthy & I hated it

How can you even afford it?? I buy one takeout meal and I'm tight on money for the rest of the week. 😔
