3 square meals vs 5-6 small ones

Is it cheaper to make your own curry paste
As above I usually buy things like thai green/ red paste and tikka then do the rest of it from scratch but wondering if it would be more affordable to make my own or do you need a lot of fresh ingredients. Tips and recipes welcome :)
