Buffets of what kind?
Because if you include brunch buffets in that, I will stab your hand with a butter knife when you go to take them away.

Brunch ones are acceptable. Dinner ones are not.
Tolerable is a better word I think. The food has less of a lowest common denominator factor so there's just my personal hatred of the whole thing left.
Well, buffet food is rarely particularly good. It's more of an eat-until-you-drop scenario.
Brunch buffets are acceptable because most of the foods you typically would eat during brunch are fairly low-maintenance and don't require a lot of spices or particular technique to cook. A big tub of sausage, a big tub of bacon, pancakes, eggs, potatoes in different forms, sandwiches.
But dinner buffets are generally the same quality food you'd get by going through a caterer (ranging from bad to average). It's all food that's easy to mass produce, but its flavor is sort of meh, because they don't have the time to spend really doing much with it. Plus, they want it to appeal to the greatest common denominator of people, which usually means it's more bland than the chef would ever make it if they worked in a restaurant or at home.
It's sort of like jarred tomato sauce. Not even remotely close to what you could make at home, if you have any idea how to cook at all, but oh so easy and widely palateable to the gross Americans who like sauces as sweet as candy. Wait, where was I going with this analogy?

on top of that, dinner buffets are expensive! I guess not in relation to a regular sit down dinner, but for what I got the last time I went to one (coworkers going away party) it was overpriced.
they have a good dinner buffet in waikiki at pacific beach hotel
most other ones are pretty meh to bleh tho

Drinking at home. But I could probably stand to get laid.
The drab food, the queueing up to get it, the genetally **** poor atmosphere of a place that serves one. It's all just miserable quantity over quality, serving people food they can make better at home for more money but with more choice. I guess it works if the people you're there with include a lot of people who claim not to like every other food thibg oranything fancy but I can't stand that attitude anyway.
The whole thing is like a nails-on-chalkboard sort of thing to my brain.

Jarred sauce here is not bad if you get the decent brands, a bit flat and too salty but doable if you're in a hurry.
Edit: obviously, I still prefer just making my own sauce 99/100 times, but I can live with jarred sauce.

Here, they run super sweet. I don't understand why they're adding sweetener to their tomato sauce, but they do. And you aren't going to get anything with much flavor in it, either.
Taking a can of tomatoes, guessing at the right herbs/spices (and proportions), and just letting that cook will usually taste better than a jarred sauce.
... Now I want tomato sauce. Maybe I'll make sausage or meatballs for dinner... and let the sauce simmer all day... Mmmmmmm...

Pureed tomatoes, cubed tomatoes, pepper, salt, lemone juice, oregano, basil, maybe a bayleaf and thrn just taste and adjust. It's simple enough but it's nice to have an alternative for when you can't be bothered.
Olive oil, small white and green onion, diced and peeled tomatoes, crushed garlic, dried basil and dried oregano, a couple of bay leaves and a little sugar is the base I was taught. You can add stuff to it, like ground beef, italian sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, or whatever. I kind of like tossing in some red wine when I make it.

That's what I do, but I also use some tomato paste. I do like adding some red wine, and usually some thyme. Don't bother with the sugar, though.
I'll often use some bell peppers. My dad adds black olives to his.

Oh right, I forgot about the onion. A little garlic never hurt anyone either.
Also, Danish made Imperial Black IPA with French pressed coffee. Delicious!
Dammit, now I really want to make sauce...
Debating if it's worth going out in the cold for ingredients...

Good food is worth some cold.
cold isn't that bad. How cold is it really where you are? I'm about to go cross country skiing, and it's currently -19C

It's still hovering around 0°C here. No real frost yet and I'm starting to worry we just won't have a winter at all this year.
Today's actually not that bad, but I have no other reason to go out. So below freezing is enough to keep me inside.
I ordered a pizza instead, lol.

No grocery stores close to your home then? For me it's about 500 meters, maybe 600 to the store I prefer (there's one a little closer) so going out for one or two things is a non issue.
Closest is in another town.

It's actually pretty big by population. 15,270 according to Google.
There's a grocery in the town north of us, and one south of us. But there's very, very little industry in my town. One grocery 5 miles north, one grocery 5 miles south (by road, not as a crow flies).
I always go to the one to the South, though. It's highway the whole way (get on the Garden State Parkway). Going to the one north of me involves taking Rt. 9, and the Northeasterners will understand what I mean when I say **** that.
