Current Events > Time to stop eating out

(+) Yeah! (+)

Everywhere I go, inflation has skyrocketed the cost of shit. Example - I remember when a small bottle of coca cola was $1.25. Now it's $1.75 or $2

Chocolate used to be $1. Now it's $1.50 or sometimes $1.69

Eating out used to be $7 or $8 for some Panda Express or Subway, now it's more like $10.

Time to stop buying shit.

Food isn't calculated when figuring inflation so stop yer fear mongering. *liberal logic*
---

Just buy bags of apples and brown rice.
---

...but if less people buy stuff, everybody are forced to raise the price in order to earn money...

$10 for Panda Express where the fuck do you live?! It's like $7 here. Time to move to a place more cost effective.
---

Yeah the only places I can eat for $5 or less anymore are the big 3 fast food chains. (McDonald's, Wendy's, BK)

my life for the past few months has been nothing but beans and rice

I could buy 25 cent hotwings from the snack bar


anyways

would you rather be able to pay $25 for a large well done steak with ketchup and baked potatoe slathered with butter

or wait in a bread line for a quarter of a loaf, no butter?

Well at least you know there's no inflation involved when eating your own shit.

Shit inflates if you let it sit in the toilet for a while. Trust me.

I have no idea what that is. All I know is I can buy 10 pounds worth of Rice and Beans together for less than $10.

I can spice it up a bit by adding various different things so it tastes different.

I've tried to avoid eating out but my dinners that I make at home often end up costing in the $40s or $50s.

So that isn't really productive.

Why not just use chicken instead? Much cheaper.

I used both. >_>

I already had the chicken from a previous recipe, though.

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, this thread just made me think of it for some reason.

I know so many people around my age that talk about how hard they have it and are always down to their last dollar before the next paycheck drops. Nothing in savings, no hope for their future.

And each time a paycheck drops, they rush off to a restaurant and pay $30+ for a single meal, fill their gas tank, stock up on 24 cases of soda, buy a new video game, order shit on Amazon, they just go into this spending frenzy. It's insane. Then, of course, their bills have to come out. Rent and utilities, etc.

Then they're shit broke a week later "Man, I don't know where all my money went..."

Into your stomach, dumbass. You ate your money.

Proper budgeting and a willingness to actually prepare your own meals saves tons of cash in the long run. You can get better and healthier servings on the dollar compared to what you get at a restaurant or especially a fast-food establishment.
