What is the point of fast food anymore

Get this person a ten-year sitcom deal!

Exactly. Take three main ingredients and use that as a base, or keep it like that.
For example: rice + tofu + tomatoes.
Another: couscous + chickpeas + green beans.
Simple, quick, easy, and nutritious. Add some flavour with herbs, spices, soy sauce, etc

This was my exact thought. If you frequent fast food 2-3 times a week, you can substitute meal kits and have fresh cooked food for the same cost and time it takes to leave the house. Once you’ve mastered kits, everything becomes more apparent in recipes, and the world is your oyster.

Not a country, but Quebec does place the dollar sign after the amount.

Sure, but then the wait staff expects you to tip at least 20% for simply being given one, and if you don't you're an asshole.

4 entrees and a side for $100 is supposed to be normal?

Honestly, it's been a great help reducing take out. It's such a gamble, I'd rather spent nothing on a sure thing (even if it's boring) than nearly $40 for a meal I may not even finish.

You can always ask the butcher to get you a smaller piece of meat. You can also separate pieces of meat and freeze part.

If produce is by weight, you can break the package to be smaller. Even things like squash can be cut in half (ask the produce people, places like Aldis will not do this).

Buy canned and frozen veggies as much as possible, they last longer. They won’t be as tasty, but will reduce your food waste.

Cook larger portions and freeze the leftovers and eat them in a week or two.

As far as spices, dishes, etc. look at them as “investments” cause you won’t be using them all on one meal…

That's the neat part about affordable food, 20% on $10 only means you tip $2.

They bring you the food, refill your water, and serve you on ceramic plates with metal silverware then take your dirty dishes away, no trash. The burger and the fries are way better than McD.

IMO The only FF place you still can't touch is a $6 Taco Bell with the cravings box. It's a huge amount of shitty food for a total of $6, it is super fast and it runs through you super fast.

The funny thing is that we've hosted like eight exchange students and they all agree that the quality of our fast food is noticeably worse than from the same chain back home, and for way more money after accounting for exchange rates.

And the lines show it. I remember the single drive-throughs being backed up around the building and them putting in the dual-ordering drive-throughs to handle the traffic. There are never more than 2-3 people in line these days and there's almost no one inside. I get it, they're property banks these days.

That's a great find!

BBQ places in my area have gotten really expensive. Sides are like $5 each now for a small container.

That's so stereotypically French.

That's not gonna work in the US.
