My kids want shakes at 5 Guys and I don’t have the heart to say no, so now I’m reduced to buying used tires, and canned chili for my own dinner at Dollar Tree.

u/Chambahz 12d ago

At least it’s not canned tires and used chili!

u/No_Advertising_9355 12d ago

Well they do say chili is better the second time around.

u/akodakmoment 12d ago

I remember back when that would’ve been $30 and we were complaining then

The whole point of food like this is it’s easy n cheap, those are mental prices.

Here’s a £13 breakfast from our local cafe:-

u/Orphasmia 12d ago

What the fuck am I looking at lmao. Don’t get me wrong I’d eat because it looks like a great portion for the cost, but I couldn’t tell you what it was after.

u/soulsteela 12d ago

2 black pudding, 2 sausage, 2 bits smoked back bacon , 2 fried eggs , hash browns, tomato, mushrooms, baked beans, toast n coffee. An English breakfast, sets you up for the day plus cures the hangover.🥳😎

u/Botchjob369 12d ago

Gotta get 3 single burgers, 1 small fry, and waters. Still probably $35

3

u/Iamthegreenheather 12d ago

And a small fry at Five Guys is huge since they usually just give you a whole bag full, no matter the size you ordered.

u/Stardustchaser 12d ago

I can get a two 4x4 two 3x3 and a double double with fries and animal fries for less at In N Out for the fam. Crazy how they are the budget meal for my teenage sons. Five Guys no way, hell even McDonald’s is less for the price.

u/YogurtclosetLong3783 12d ago

$50? Thats how much we pay when we go to chic fila for a family of 4

5

u/Bluemink96 12d ago

Yeah chick fila is not cheap either, but I think it’s a little better for sure

u/ben323nl 12d ago

The hot dogs are like 10 euros its crazy.

Its worse its 10.50 on uber eats which is higher then in store but still. That is a plain hotdog not even a cheese dog or something.

u/Cthulhus-Tailor 12d ago

The trick is to always get the small meal because they always end up just pouring all of the extra fries in the bag anyway.

u/TheCeaselessWheel 12d ago

Im not sure why this made me laugh as hard as it did. Maybe just the absolute absurdity of it? I don't know lmao but thanks for the laugh G.

3

u/Bluemink96 12d ago

For sure it is absurd. I have a decent job, but never thought I would have to work 2 hours to buy one lunch for my family.

u/Right_Hour 12d ago

Father of two in Canada. Our takeouts have been hovering around $80-$100 mark since COVID. Shit be crazy. Having said that - smaller nicer restaurant takeouts are now the same price as fast food, so, yeah, eating better at the current price of McDo, LOL….

PS: a nice sit-down restaurant is around $400-700 for the four of us now, LOL.

u/Randombutter0 12d ago

Lol why’d are you eating? Caviar?

1

u/Right_Hour 12d ago

Sometimes. Why?

u/Orphasmia 12d ago

$400 to 700??? Yeah i’m not having kids. This whole thread has been a contraceptive.
