I feel like this can only be true if you're trying to get real fancy with the home cooking. I don't see how eating out consistently could ever be cheaper or even close to as cheap as cooking yourself rice and beans at home. Dry rice and beans in bulk are pretty cheap
It's still like 1/2 or 1/3 the price here if I buy vegan or non-vegan chicken nuggets and any sorts of fries and soda at the grocery store than it is to go to McDonalds (just getting a soda and a large frie(s) at McDonalds is like $10). And definitely cheaper than the even more expensive restaurants like A&W (it's $35-40 for two people to eat there now). And that's the expensive pre-made food. Making real food is even cheaper.
