Where in Canada are you? Here in BC, the prices are quite different from what you mentioned.

Well, university coop cafes are always gonna be comparatively cheap, but yeah, Japan's prepared food is generally cheap on a different level. Stuff in grocery stores for one thing, but I still can't quite figure out how sukiya or yoshinoya puts a beef set meal in front of you in 5 mins for less than 1000 yen

So order it to go!

Buy frozen chicken nuggies/pizza and bake it in the oven

More expensive in Atlanta than the one I linked.

Dallas TX has even higher prices than atlanta.

No idea what kind of "west coast" area you're in that things are cheap. Usually COL is nuts there... but the coast is thousands of miles so...

$18 of that $25 was delivery fees and tip

Pizza is also ridiculously expensive where I live. For something that is comprised of almost entirely dough, cheese, and tomato sauce, it's kind of criminal that some places are charging $20 or more for a large pie. It probably cost them $1.50 worth of ingredients to make when you factor in bulk pricing.

In my days, you got a week's worth of calories for $3.50

So a detective show that gets cancelled after one season?

Chowder.

Why would I give the IRS an interest free loan? Taking that same 5% from your paycheck directly and setting up an automatic transfer to a high-yield savings account or an IRA each month would give you better dividends over the same period of time.

Screw that. Last month I got free burgers with minimum $1 purchase at burger king. Two cookies =$1 exactly.

Pack soda can and go, lol.

Fair enough. I'm not scraping by either. I just choose to vote with my wallet because that's capitalism.

Most times I buy fast food these days (few times a year) I just feel ripped off, because I know I'm paying extra just for shareholders; not for actual value.

When I was in high school, we'd split a gram of weed four ways and go to Wendy's for the $4.20 meal. For less than ten bucks, you got stoned, a junior bacon cheese, four nuggets, small fry, and a small chocolate frosty. This was in the mid oughts so not that long ago!

I wish I could move to Japan…

The mid oughts was a different world, hundreds of years ago.

In my days you could buy 420 chickens for $0.69.
