I'd cook something myself
A guy picks up his kids. He usually takes them to eat at a fast food restaurant, but has other plans this time.
"Look, I thought instead of buying some food today, I'd cook something myself. What do you say to that?"
1) Do you prefer "I thought" before "instead" or before "I'd cook"?
2) Is "cook" perfect or would "make" be more idiomatic?
3) With that solved, is it natural now?

Don't you have to buy food even if you cook it yourself at home?
I'd change that to 'instead of eating out today'.
