    That idea only works if there are cheaper options available or going without is possible. If there’s no place to get cheaper food you still have to eat. In my experience food is expensive everywhere.

      Fast food should be the first thing you drop, it’s honestly sad that these companies aren’t dying out as their prices match actual restaurant price, for way worse quality (sometimes)

        Yeah I mean once they match actual restaurant pricing I stopped going to them in favor of getting much better quality restaurant food instead when choosing to eat out. It’s the easy answer if your going to be spending that kind of cash either way.

        People who don’t have a lot of money tend also not to have time to cook delicious meals for themselves.

          Fast food isn’t cheap, I could go out and get 1 meal for 15 - 20$, or i could buy a bunch of lunch meats, rice, beans, and noodles and live off that for a week to 2.

          Can be delicious, probably better than MickieD’s, but damn do you u get a lot of it for your dollar.
