Just make a sandwich, problem solved.

Unironically though, stuff like pre-made potato salad is why i never cook. Why would i cook if there's delicious pre-made stuff out there? It feels like a waste of time, especially considering i'd be cooking for 1 person only. That's so wasteful.

If you mean, like, stuff made from fresh ingredients at the grocery store, I'll agree, it's the same stuff that you'd end up making. If it's containerized, there's the whole addition of ingredients for the sake of preservation, and some of that might be worth avoiding.

And so all things equal in the meal, just cost. Buying potato salad is probably more expensive than buying it's parts, although then it's probably not more expensive than starting new versus always having mayo in the fridge, that kinda thing.

I love potatoes but I honestly don't love potato salad.

If it’s containerized, there’s the whole addition of ingredients for the sake of preservation, and some of that might be worth avoiding.

Thankfully the EU has a law that requires all ingredients of pre-made products to be listed. So you know exactly what is in it.
