3.50€ for a meal isn't cheap and nothing a poor person can afford on a regular basis. I can cook a great meal for under 2€ that doesn't consist of trash. What a detached asshole.

McDonald's is not cheap food, it's fast food. I don't expect this cunt to know the difference.

That's not even enough to satiate you. For that you need to buy a menu which is about 10€ here in Germany. That's not cheap at all.

If I could afford almost 4 quid per meal I'd be laughing! Think of all the nice food I could eat!

We grow all of our vegetables for most of the year. Potatoes, carrots, leeks, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, beetroot, lots of berries for jams, etc etc. I don't know how we'd manage without that.

We live in the outskirts of a major city in England, not a stereotypically poor blackwater somewhere. This is how bad things are these days.

What can a banana cost?

As of July 2023, the price of a Big Mac (just the sandwich) in the US is $5.58 (€5.27). https://www.statista.com/statistics/274326/big-mac-in@dex-global-prices-for-a-big-mac/

According to Google that's about $5 Canadian. The avegage burger combo at McDonald's in my area is about $12. $15 if you upsize.

Not that eating healthier is much cheaper.

3,50€ is really cheap in my country. But our grocery and restaurants prices are among the worse ones
