> I'd think buying all the ingredients to make one single burrito would be upwards of $20-25 Sort of yes? But with those ingredients costing $20-25 you would be able to afford to make how many burritos? There's no way your purchases wind up being $20-25 per burrito, right? That would be nuts. | ||

> But with those ingredients costing $20-25 you would be able to afford to make how many burritos? It doesn't matter. The post I was responding to said that you could create a substitute for a burrito shop burrito with $4 and some work at home. Spending much more money and then amortizing it over multiple burritos is out of the scope of the original comment. It would be nonsensical to say that you can get a burrito for free by making three burritos and selling two, right? There is obviously an underlying time-money tradeoff here, and my point is that focusing on burritos is the wrong place to start trying to optimize that for saving money. (Although I do question why someone would go to Chipotle for anything other than "I'm on a road trip and need food". Their food is so bland it was the literal inspiration for the term premium mediocre. Support your local burrito shop!) | ||
