Honestly, it's been a great help reducing take out. It's such a gamble, I'd rather spent nothing on a sure thing (even if it's boring) than nearly $40 for a meal I may not even finish.

I got a double cheeseburger platter from a BBQ place with 2 sides for $10. Better burger than fast food and I got fries and collards.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 week ago

That's a great find!

BBQ places in my area have gotten really expensive. Sides are like $5 each now for a small container.

In my industry, there's a saying along the lines of "Good, fast, cheap. Pick two."

I think the fast food industry version is "Good, fast, cheap? No, no. And believe it or not, also no."

I don't eat fast food very often, so this is entirely anecdotal. Of the fast food chains I've eaten at in recent history, Taco Bell is by far the worst. Against my better judgment, I even broke down and gave them a second chance at a different location thinking maybe my first terrible experience was a fluke. Didn't work out. Makes me think it's bad everywhere. Wendy's has held up the best of the places I've eaten. It's definitely not cheap anymore, fast depends on the location as well as other factors, and good is relative, but overall it hasn't gone down hill as bad as the others.

taco bell definitely has one of the widest ranges in quality. one near my house is fucking awful and never gets the substitutions right, but the one 20 minutes away is great

To me it’s McDonalds, how something using the exact same ingredients and prep can taste so different and have vastly different delivery times in everyone you go to boggles the mind

When I was in high school, we'd split a gram of weed four ways and go to Wendy's for the $4.20 meal. For less than ten bucks, you got stoned, a junior bacon cheese, four nuggets, small fry, and a small chocolate frosty. This was in the mid oughts so not that long ago!

I switched to mostly cooking for myself sometime last year, really just trying to save money, but I feel significantly less fatigued day to day and more focused and don't wake up with random stomach pain anymore.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I've done that most of my adult life and yeah even just pasta with jarred sauce is so much cheaper, better, and healthier than fast food.

Your next big level up may be realizing that exercise doesn't suck nearly as much as the feeling of being out of shape

In my days, you got a week's worth of calories for $3.50

I have a 2 year old who falls asleep when driving, and we have had troubles with sleeping so I drive the motorway for perhaps two hours. In Norway the only places that do drive through is BK and McD, and yeah I have been one black coffe guy. Or just fries and coke. And nuggets and fries are car friendly. Can be eaten with one hand, and makes little mess

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I didn't know 2-year-olds could legally drive in Norway.

Is there a country that uses the dollar sign that puts it after the number?

[–] yarn@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not a country, but Quebec does place the dollar sign after the amount.

Yeah… I only do fast food using apps and only go if there’s a good enough “discount”(quotes because it’s really what the prices should be anyway, obvs.).

[–] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago (5 children)

The Jimmy Johns app is atrocious in this regard.

"Buy 16 sandwiches this month for free cookie!"

Fucken nerds.
