If you add “time” to the math things get very cheap over time. Like a loaf of bread is more than five bucks but over time it provides sandwiches and breakfast worth 5 bucks so it is measurably saving me money. A movie costs ~about $5 an hour too.
That’s not really a function of time, though. It’s just a multi-use ingredient.
Time really only comes into play when discussing making something yourself vs buying pre-made. You’re saving money by not paying for the time it took someone else to make it.
