Scratch chili vs store-bought kit, which is actually cheaper in the long run?
I've been doing the math on my last 4 chili batches. The kit costs $6 but only feeds 4, while my scratch version with dried beans and canned tomatoes came to $9 but made 8 bowls, so the per-meal cost was way lower. Do you guys count leftovers as savings or just look at the upfront price?
