    I was eating something I made at home for lunch today and pondering how much it cost me for what was a good, hearty, healthy meal. Even eating in generous proportions, I was eating for about $2 a meal. I had carbs, fats, protein, fiber, and various minerals as well vitamins. I don’t think I could get a single cheeseburger from Wendy’s for that price. Even their cheap ones. As well it’s not just them, it’s all fast food. They forgot the idea is you go there, spend like $5 for a meal that you don’t have to make at home. Giving some variety.

      making it yourself is much cheaper, fast food and restuarants are quite expensive. if one were to eat out everyday, it would be like 50-100$/day easily this is an extreme example, due to enabling partners, thinking they have infinite amount of money i know people that spends beyond thier means and the wife is always doing this.
