I have noticed that my local McDonalds has really raised their Prices. A big Mac is almost five bucks and even some greasy Hash Browns are over two bucks each.
Absolutely ridiculous IMHO.
For that money you could prepare a Meal for two people from items bought at a Grocery Store.
Heck, they could even make Kraft Mac & Cheese and a couple of Sandwiches for that money. Of course that would require some “work” over a hot stove. Can’t have that now can we?
Once in awhile I want to eat out. I dont say its a good use of money to dine every day at a restaurant.
Its healthier and more frugal to dine at home. But every now and then I want to take a break from cooking.
Thats where dining out and takeout delivery come in.
