Quote

Time to cook

“I buy ready-made foods less and less, because I have more and more time to cook.”

“Ideally, I would take time to cook all the meals for them… But I work and I don’t always have time.”

Homemade is better

“There are things that are quick and easy to do, and are also good for the health. Why should I use something which has already been prepared, I don’t really know what is in it, because I’m not the one who prepared it.”

Budget

“Now, we look at the price first.”

“Yes, it’s expensive. Especially meat, steaks. I never buy that… but I buy it for her only. I can buy 100 grams or 200 grams for her.”
