I looked around Town....How do people eat out?? Prices are crazy...
Tell me where to go for a reasonable lunch.
I Apps. For example I have the Wendy's App and last March I was able to get the Dave's Double for just $2 and the Dave's Single for $1. I was able to do that for several days a week from late February to early April. I keep checking the restaurant apps on my phone almost daily for the deals. Apps.
“Went to Wendy’s with my daughter...burger fries drink...$28... We were stunned. We never do fast food so neither of us knew...”
Two $5 baggies. Jr. Bacon cheese burger, fries, chicken nuggets and drink.
Publix......
“Tell me where to go for a reasonable lunch.”
Home? Sorry, couldn’t resist. There is no place really, to get cheap food, except at home, and even there, grocery prices have gone through the roof! Of course, here in Canaduh,we also have the cost of a LARGE ‘carbon tax’ that the transportation business has to pass on to the grocers, who pass it on to us, through higher prices.
I recall that likely not more than 5 years ago, McDonald’s would have a Big Mac/McChicken/Quarter Pounder combo on special for $6.99 CDN. Now, their special is $10.99 CDN, regularly $15-16 CDN.
If there is a Sikh ‘gurdwara’ (their place of worship) near you, they often provide free vegetarian lunches to any and all who show up. We have at least one ‘gurdwara’ in Calgary that does this every day, 7 days a week.
FWIW, there is one casino in Calgarythat apparently still offers a $15.88 ‘prime rib’ meal on Wednesdays ($20.88 without their loyalty card). Haven’t checked it out, since I work evenings Tuesday-Saturday.
Best of luck finding an inexpensive restaurant!
Just a couple years ago, I remember folks telling me they never went out to eat, would never pay those outrageous covid-induced prices if they did, and made _the most_ delicious, hot, plentiful, and healthy burgers and fries you ever tasted for mere pennies on the dollar!
We picked up Chinese food yesterday. I made three meals out of mine, including the soup which we intended to have later. (My husband got two meals) The total was $28. No drinks as we had them at home. It was alot of food. We are done with most fast food. Aside from the tip, sit down is less expensive, and healthier. (most can be take out)
Watch the specials fast food restaurants have. Wendy’s has their Biggie Bag. You could have had a bacon cheeseburger, fries, chicken nuggets, and a drink for $6. Same bag but a chicken sandwich is $5. We never order off the specials menu anywhere.
Same here we go out Friday evening, went to 5 guys with wife, $30 burger, fries and drink. Told her this weekend we buy a $20 filet mignon and grill at home.
