Fast food is ridiculous now. Everything around here is almost twice what it cost 5-6 years ago. Might as well go to an actually good restaurant for that.
And it's not even that fast
It's also not food
Yup, also while prices may have gone up across the board the spread of prices seems to have reduced. At this point eating out is a bad value but I feel like spending $30 on a good meal gives me better value than a nearly $20 fast food meal.
Yup. And I can usually get an additional 1-3 leftover meals from that $30 good meal from a local restaurant.
