What is the point of fast food anymore

[email protected]

It’s been a long time since fast food was any good. It’s addictive, maybe comfortable, but definitely not good. Break your addiction, especially now that you could save so much money

Name better fast food at a comparative price.

Five guys.

This sums up my experience as well. It's never been healthy, but at least it used to be cheap and tasty. But nowadays mcdonalds is so expensive I almost consider it a luxury, and the plastic-looking sauces and mystery meat are in no way appetizing (tho that might just be me getting older and changing preferences as opposed to the actual food getting worse)

Five guys is triple the price if not more.

To me it’s McDonalds, how something using the exact same ingredients and prep can taste so different and have vastly different delivery times in everyone you go to boggles the mind

How déclassé to not use the accente aigu.

Yes, but to be fair, it's peak mid. Most other chains do a worse job on burgers, and to do better, you have to go substantially upmarket.

Not in the West Coast. Both are about ~7 for the base burger and cap out at about ~12 for the highest menu item without extras.

Where about are you guys? I'm in the U.S. and it isn't anywhere near that. I don't buy it but a 10 pack is usually a free add on

Ah yes, Five Guys. Where the fries turn into a pile of greasy mush if not eaten within the first five minutes your order is ready. But you've completed that task, you're now full-up on fried potato, but now your burger is cold or at best half eaten. Nobody should have to eat with the gusto of a professional contestant just to make the most of things. It's a meal that conspires against itself, every single time.

If you skip the fries, the burgers are actually pretty good and can enjoy it at any pace.

That's fair, spell it right tho

Lmao can't take this guy seriously after this

You figure "accente" should be "l'accente"? Then it would be "the the accent".

I'm sorry you're too used to frozen preserves potatoes from Sysco or other manufacturers of potato-like rectangles to appreciate real fries.

When I can buy like a large 5 top pizza for as much as a single fast food combo, i know which I'll choose.

Where are you shopping? Only having a 5lb bag of jasmine rice is weird.

Just use powdered instead of the fresh herbs. I would consider doubling up on most spices if you are using powdered.

Garlic and ginger both can be frozen. They also last a good while, so you can keep them in your fridge

I'm trying to get myself together too (though not nearly as impressive as your method). I'm writing down everything I spend, from a soda, or groceries, to rent. I quickly saw I was spending, like, to the penny of my check,, and saw I wasted a good $200 on just bullshit. I'm trying to put on my big girl panties and get it together. Whenever I saw no to something, I've been putting it in a savings account. Like, "eh, I can make dinner at home." Okay, then that $15 for the cheeseburger that you were okay with is now going into savings.

My goal is to end this year without debt. School, credit card, all of it. Tired of it lol

Yeah… I only do fast food using apps and only go if there’s a good enough “discount”(quotes because it’s really what the prices should be anyway, obvs.).
