I got a double cheeseburger platter from a BBQ place with 2 sides for $10. Better burger than fast food and I got fries and collards.

That's a great find!

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

Learn to cook. Honestly. When you know what you're doing you can make simple and nutritious meals for a fraction of what you'd pay for this junk food.

+ it doesn't need to be complicated. You only need a few ingredients and can buy certain pre-made things like crumbed fish or chicken. If you do it right the first meal takes 30 mins, then eating the same thing again in the next few days should only take 5-10 mins.

Fucking Applebee's is right now cheaper than all of them with $10 for a burger and fries.

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.

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.

Now please tip 200% for the garbage

I got a bacon double cheeseburger, large fry, large drink at a Hardee's this week and it cost damn near $18. It was "okay."

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And half the time it's not even that fast anymore either.

Might as well order a burger from an actual restaurant, to go, for the same amount and pick it up on the way. Half the time they'll even bring it to you curbside.
