OR

I can buy five pounds of flour, five pounds of sugar, a bag of brown sugar, a box of salt, tins of baking soda and cinnamon, a lemon to squeeze, a bottle of vanilla extract, a bag of walnuts, and a dozen eggs. Then I buy electricity to heat the oven for an hour. When I'm done I'll have a couple dozen cookies but I will have spent more than just buying three.

Sometimes I would rather pay more per cookie at somewhere like Crumbl than buy all the supplies I would need to make two dozen of each of the varieties available at Crumbl.

There is a price for convenience - sometimes it is worth it.

Wow, no stocked pantry? But then I forget from time to time that some people don't use their kitchens. I can only speak for myself but I've never eaten a store-bought cookie that tastes better than homemade.
