    Restaurant fries and drinks.

    Was on a really tight budget for a time, so I know I can feed myself for a few Euros a day. Going back to fast food restaurants at all still instils some guilt in me, but there is 1 that has unbelievably good prices and I can still appreciate the convenience at times.

    But fries and drinks are just a scam with how big the profit margins are, and not even hard to prepare at home if you’re ordering take out or have it delivered (I also don’t pay for delivery, my bike is free).

      Yeah and I just don’t like fries that much anyway. If I get fast-food, I’m getting two value menu burgers, not one regular full meal.

      I agree for the drinks. But I can’t cook fries like my local burger place does. And it’s cheap, like half a dollar (USD equivalent of my home currency) for 1 box of fries.

      God restaurants have gotten so expensive, especially delivery. $15-$18 for a burger, another $4-$6 for fries, multiplied by two, plus delivery fees, taxes, and tip… easily $50+
