cooking is not expensive in the US. you can make it expensive, especially in buying over priced appliances, utensils, and other kitchen gadgets. however raw foods are well priced and when you work out complete meals.

to avoid mediocre meals work you way up the difficulty chain and make sure to adhere to recipes. the number one way to make a mediocre meal is lack of preparation and the second is to short cut a recipe.

plus when you get the hand of it you can make larger meals and freeze/store what you don't eat then so you have something tasty all week long

The best way to get better at cooking is to consider recipes, and then cook how you want to cook. Baked goods are an exception to that, until you get really good at baking. For some types of baked goods, I'm almost to that point...

There is a class of American recipes, designed for a mythical 1960s housewife, that amount to little more than dumping various factory-manufactured prepared goods together. Ignore those altogether. Although the meal might be edible, it won't improve your cooking.
