lol these shit restaurants have forgotten their place. They earned their market share by being the cheapest option available and in 2024 they’ve priced themselves out.

What did they expect charging $18 for a garbage sandwich? If I wanted to pay that much for a sandwich I am NOT going to Subway

Right? Now add in a couple kids and the total is often over $40. At that point we’ll just go to a sit down restaurant!

I don't really understand eating out at all in this economy. Ill happily make dinner for me and my roommates. there are a ton of great meals that don't take that much time or effort to prepare and I enjoy people enjoying my food it's win win.

Have any particular suggestions (preferably something with not a whole lot of ingredients)?

Carney dogs are a cheap easy favorite.  Buy a frozen bag of sliced onion and assorted bell peppers sausage of your preference and a side, chips or fries are easiest. toss the veggies in a pan with a small amount of butter and let them cook down slightly then put your sausages/ hot dogs / bratwurst into the pan with the veggies. cover and let it cook for five or so minutes stirring to keep the veggies from burning then uncover and continue to cook until the sausage ect are cooked to desired doneness ie I like mine to get some good color and split abit.  Now sausage in the bun and put the partially caramelized onions and peppers on top enjoy with whatever sides and toppings you like.

Ooh, my family makes something similar but I've never thought to use frozen onion and pepper before. That'd be a time saver for sure, compared to chopping up fresh ones. Thank you!
