Fast food pricing

[DemonPit]

I took my family to mc donalds a few months ago. 2x #1 big Mac meals, 1x kids chz burger happy meal, and 1x 4pc nugget, total was $38.00.

F that!!!

I can go get 2x filet mignon steaks (about 17oz total for 2), 1x lobster tail, 2x baked potatoes, 1 head of Broccoli for 1.00 cheaper!

I don't eat fast food at all. Except for the occasional subway for a quick lunch. Or a popeyes chicken sandwich.

You're paying for the ambiance.

So I work 12 hour graves. Lunch at one of the sites I work is a challenge as there's no infrastructure. Sometimes I get fast food if I want a change from normal sandwich. Kfc us good I like my extra crispy cold. Only other options a subway type. I hadn't had subway in a couple years I guess. I went tonight was like 12 bucks. These companies are charging too much which is lowering traffic which is making them raise prices. I see it most at like burger King, Carl's Jr, roundtable... whoever is running these joints should be fired. They are delivering a self defeating buisness model inho.

we rarely do FF. The exception is the rare occaision Jersey Mikes does a BOGO sale. 2 12ish subs for $11.50.

Our primary fast food is a 1/2 lb burger with green chili/onions/pickles/lettuce/tomato and side of onion rings.
It is $8.75 at the casino plus get a 50% off coupon, and wife and I just split one.
So $4 and change is not bad.
Of course if we do any gambling, the cost of that burger goes up considerably. Haha

That is our Monday FF.

Just got back from the grocery store.
Chuck roast is 9.99/lb for choice, 2.89 for a head of iceberg lettuce, and 1.99/lb for tomatoes.

WTF!!

I'm about to start growing my own veggies, and having a cow or 2 in my backyard. For chickens, I'll start plinking the many pigeons that fly around.

FYI, pigeon does not taste like chicken.
Pigeon does not have the yard bird flavor of chicken or turkey.
