Last Month, People Spent More Money Eating Out At Restaurants Than Groceries

[Originalman]

I operate something similar to a food truck (more of a pop up), and oh boy

Gonna break records if the year continues like this. I've damn near doubled my prices from pre-quarantine, and I stay with a line at major events. 20 dollars for a double cheeseburger with fries. 15 dollars for 4 chx tenders with fries. 4 dollar waters.

I'm almost at the point if u try negotiate prices u can just get the fukk out my line, I don't have a problem letting someone know they can't afford this and Mcds is right up the road for ya.

Keep not knowing how to cook

My homie.....

Even as a single bruh, I can't relate. I don't even like eating fast food more than once a week, although I do like fast food. I try not to eat it too much cause it ain't cheap nor healthy.

Groceries will always be my main food source. I don't cook from scratch a whole lot, but at the least I know how to throw a frozen Stouffers entrée in the oven, or fry some turkey burgers on the stove top to spruce it up the way I want.

Been moving in the opposite direction. We may eat out once every few weeks and now getting to the point we are making alot of things from scratch. Only time I ever use something like Uber eats is when I’m out of town in a hotel.

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

I cook 95% of what I eat. Can't relate

Was it like that before covid?

I think it was

I'm always hitting up Restaurant Depot or BK Miller where a 40lb case of chicken leg quarters is $20.

Also if you cant cook then hit up Allrecipes.

Funny thing is I’m wfh gang and I find more time to cook.

I eat salmon 4 or 5 times a week. And that’s still cheaper than eating out.

To be fair, we don't eat everything in one sitting. It lasts for like 3 servings

My wife and I will get a bowl and I'll get the quesadillas. Chips and guap

The quesadillas come with 3 sides, so dinner will be half of my bowl and a quesadilla. I'll put the extra sides in the bowl and save it for later


Will have lunch and dinner set for the next day if I want.
