And compared to dinner?

I'm asking because if I was "strapped for cash" I'd always go for cooking something rice or potato based myself, rather than buying already processed and packaged food, a most likely overpriced brand no less!

I think it’s partly that any home cooking is more difficult and time consuming than it. I have cheap and easy meals I do but they’re less feasible than cereal. Except dipping bread in pesto that’s dirt cheap and easy as fuck

Good point, time consumed by cooking has value in itself.
