Im far from cheap but fast food done got ridiculous iculous

[Geek Nasty]

I remember when you coulld get 10 plain burritos or tacos at Taco Bell for $5. Then, they started the big national ad campaigns and they got stupid expensive.

 

[Stinky Diver]

My McDonalds is full of struggle right now...on the billboard that shyt just says, "big mac"

Anytime I have a craving for fast food I just make it myself...guaranteed to have leftovers too.

 

[COQWAVE]

costco that wave for food in canada we got poutines for like 3.50 and hotdog and a drink for like 1.50

[Sauce Dab]

I knew people were going to start saying "cook your own meal" but OP said "on the go"

Spoiler

whats actually good for on the go and healthy?

 

[acri1]

I get fast food probably a few times a week...you just gotta know how to save money.

Like I'll only stop by Chipotle on Wednesdays when they have the $5 burrito, or only go to Popeye's when they have the Tuesday special (Leg/Thigh for $1.59).


That said I really should cook more, but after being at work for 9 hours I just don't feel like it sometimes.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Sometimes I just want a burger and maybe want to pay 2.50-$3 tops but you'll be damned if you gonna get a burger/real chicken sandwich less than $5 these
Days. I spent damn near $10 on a fukking spicy chicken meal at wendys today and carls bottom burger is like 4.79 by itself.
Chik filet taxing, in and out not worth the wait. Subway makes ya clothes smell like marinara. Chipotle tastes bland now a days.
Cafe rio is following suite just walked out of Ralphs and the sushi in the deli was $13 for some pre made rolls been sitting there since opening. Jack in the box trash, del taco cheap af but trash. Papa johns getting trash, dominos trash, pizza hut been trash buffalo wild wings is terrible and now islands grill and bar is gross to me.


Now When im
Home ill cook breakfast but during the day im on the go and sometimes at night dont cook. Im at sit down restaurants just as much and I always go for the filet or a good 12oz steak. shyt me and my girl
Go to this lebanese spot and a dinner for us with potatos in garlic sauce appetizer and out meals is like $70 just paid $5 for two packs of them swisher sweet summer twist jawns

Cotsco is the wave for food tho
So is ikea.

You never heard of the cookout?

1 main item, two sides and a drink for 449 or some shyt. 50 extra for a shake

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

had a 5 dollar buffalo chicken with cheese extra mayo 12 inch hero, toasted and crunchy from the bodegas.. why is subway in NY?

 

[Ribbs]

It's like $8 for a proper fast food meal up here. You Americans and your mom and pop stores. You lucky fat asses . None of that shyt in Toronto outside of downtown. There's four fast food places across the street from me .

 

[Samori Toure]

Go to fatburger im dropping $15 for 1 meal. Just fries,burger and a shake

shyt aint worth it

Go to the grocery store and get ground beef, bread, some potatoes, a couple of tomatoes, lettuce and kool aide for $15.
You can make several samichees from those groceries and on top of that your food is going to be healthier.

 

[Icantspell]

Oh lord I forgot $1.50 chicken nuggg at b-king

thinkk they gone now

 

[CurrencyChase]

can't believe an maximelt is 2 dollars when it was like 60 cent a few years ago..

 

[Dooby]

McDonalds is trying their damnedest to compete by making burgers like this one, fancily named the 'Steakhouse Sirloin Third Pound Burger' and charging $5 for it...but it's still a 2nd rate McDonalds burger with crappy beef. You can get a Smashburger or something on that level for the same price or a few more bucks.

Them, Burger King, Wendy's, Subway, all these places whose main selling point was that they were the cheapest are going to have to adapt to the new market and raise the quality of their food or die. Right now they're out there looking like dinosaurs.

Mcdonalds will never die.

 

[Soundbwoy]

paid 20$ for lunch today that messicain food had me after as if Pill Cosby made it

 

[feelosofer]

This is why places like Shake Shack, 5 Guys and Smashburger are blowing up.

Yall don't have any Vietnamese sandwich shops around? I get 1 sandwich which is cut in two (one half is the size of my forearm) for 5 bucks, but really though fast food is dummy expensive now. Tbh I'll have fast food maybe once every other month but I've seen my homies receipts for a meal and it's ridiculous for what you get. I can't even lie though when I'm zooted I'll hit my local mcd's for the fries but it's once in a blue moon.

I've never heard of a Vietnemese Sandwich joint before
