Default "Is eating out cheaper than cooking at home?"

That's the way I feel about it. And yes, I have cooked for family many
times over the years. My oldest brother's girlfriend was more picky
than I've ever been. All she did was tell me what she wouldn't eat.

So I'd suggest things for dinner. My oldest brother and I like a lot of
the same things. I'd day "how about marinated grilled flank steak?" and
my brother would say "Yum" and she would say "Ewww". My brother loves
to cook so I honestly don't know how he wound up with someone even
pickier than I am. Don't let something touch on her plate! LOL

After a few days of trying to be polite... I finally told her if she
didn't like what I'd decided to cook, hey! go shopping! Knock yourself
out! Cook for yourself.

Funny, she didn't do that. And she shut up.
