Compared to instant noodles, yes.
Cooking rice takes like 15 minutes at most. Potatoes can take like an hour tops with the peeling but you can boil a bunch or cook them in an over and reheat them in a microwave later.
The price win is definitely worth it IMHO though. Instant noodles are like 1.90 euros per meal while a kg of rice or potatoes is about 1 euro and lasts for days, not just one meal. Also rice and potatoes get cheaper the more you buy at once.
