    You could always make a cheaper burger yourself. Yeah a pack of buns and and pound of burger would cost more, but per burger it was always cheaper.

      Time isn’t free.

      Saying it’s cheaper to do it yourself is almost always true with cooking. It doesn’t really make sense to bring up because you’re comparing apples to oranges.

      In reality, you just want to feel superior to people who eat fast food. Come on, admit it.

        Dude. Learn Chinese cooking. Abandon your worthless Westoid foods that take 7 hours to cook. Adopt the Wok and Wok Hei will adopt you. Be one with the stir fry.

          While I agree that this is a good way to cook affordable meals, it’s still a luxury so many people can’t afford. When I met my current husband, he was working two jobs in different parts of the city and renting a single room without a kitchen. Most of his free time was spent on the bus or train. I’ve known many such people, and fast food’s drastic increase in price has really hurt.

          I’ve actually upgraded to mexican cooking.

          Just make a big bowl of taco stuff and shovel it onto a tortilla for a few days.

          Been thinking about getting into stirfries, too.

            Stir fry is great. One big pan of chicken, rice, and veggies, and you’re set for days. Toss some different sauces, cheese, or spices on there to change the flavors up.

      I really don’t think you could’ve back in the dollar menu days. A double cheese burger for less than $1? Unless you’re buying you’re ingredients in a pretty bulk size (which if you’re regularly eating off the dollar menu, you probably can’t afford to do), I doubt you could have gotten much better than that

        You totally could, those patties were tiny af and a pound of beef went far enough for it to even out
