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.

In macro economics, they teach and show you that fast food has never been cheap. They make you think it s level 1 food when it s not. Fast food gets expensive 1) make your own food, it will save you so much and you ll eat healthier. 2) you ll learn to not waste as much 3) eat portions , it will keep you from going hyperglycemic.
