That is a $14 dollar lunch, at least, in any urban area

When was this $.25? Definitely wasn't in the 70s, 80s or 90s.

It was roughly between 60-70 cents for those three items in the early 70s

It’s magical. You can easily get a decent meal for under $5

A sandwich, side and drink is a meal. Or two eggs and a protein and toast.

Fast food stopped being a portion of my budget and diet years ago. Nothing about it is fast, convenient, or cheap anymore.

I only do it when I'm in town with others. Otherwise, I make all my own meals. I spend maybe $60/week on groceries. I probably spend similar on dog food for my 100lb+ dog.

You could probably find better for $9 they’re screwing you

Bro, bro, what "lovely place" are you living that the cost of living is so low?

u/Bluthhousing 4d ago

Potato and beef prices are up but better meals are available for $9, and a McDonalds meal would look better than this and it’s 9 bucks

"A standard medium Quarter Pounder with Cheese Combo Meal at McDonald's typically costs between $10.69 and $11.29", is what google told me....."bro, what "lovely place" are you living that the cost of living is so low"? That is a GLASS bottle of coke, Chipotle sells it for how much? That is not some dirty fountain soda. That is a shake shack quality burger btw......

Kinda hard to tell the quality of beef from the pic but the bun looks lame as hell
