I mean it really doesn’t. There’s literally no fast food you can’t do cheaper at home. Sure, you might have to pay a bit more, but you’ll then have at least twice the amount of food.

This assumes you have storage space, utensils to cook with, money for power to cook, access to a kitchen , etc

Obviously.

Living at a hotel is also cheaper then an apartment if we consider the cost of rent, a bed, electricity, water and etc.

But living at a hotel is obviously not cheaper than renting an apartment, and no one would argue that for like 99% of cases. Perhaps for a couple of days, but long term it will get much more expensive.

As with fast food.
