Convenience

Cream Puffs Store Bought: Much faster. Taste great. Extremely convenient

and keeps longer than homemade. More chemicals. Homemade: Purchasing, prepping, and making is much more

tasking. Tastes better than store bought. Harder to get correct texture of cream filling.

Chicken Burrito Taco Bell: Very quick. Inexpensive. Greasy and not fresh tasting. Homemade: Takes much longer to cook because of rice. Quality

much better. Tastes fresh and delicious. Still inexpensive.
