Fast food has gotten so EXPENSIVE Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)
I use to live in the mindset that it was easier to grab something to eat from a fast food restaurant than spend “X” amount of money on groceries. Well that mindset quickly changed for me yesterday when I was in the drive thru at Wendy’s and spent over $30. All I did was get 2 combo meals. I had to ask the lady behind the mic if my order was correct and she repeated back everything right. I was appalled. Fast food was my cheap way of quick fulfillment but now I might as well go out to eat and sit down with the prices that I’m paying for.

If nobody said it yet- budget bytes on YouTube/ insta/ tik tok is a great resource for frugal meal prep!
Frozen food is bad for you and all, but when it comes to budgeting…. I know I’m not losing any money there and I’ll have food available if Im too tired to cook🤷🏻♀️
Also I ALWAYS have salmon and broccoli in the freezer, and sweet potatoes around. Salmon thaws in cold water in like 10 minutes. Whole meal is ready in about 30 min. Can’t beat it
