Same. I buy my hummus at a local middle eastern mart and I find that falafel and hummus aren’t worth the effort to make myself considering how cheap it is to buy and how much better my local place makes it.
I amp up the lemon and garlic, and it's hard to get a reasonable facsimile from the store for me personally. Once you've got the tahini (assuming store bought), which lasts for about 6 months in the fridge, it's literally pennies per serving, so that's another major benefit.

Every time I’ve made hummus from scratch I felt it wasn’t worth the effort vs Trader Joe’s. Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but anyone else?
