I’m in Canada, when I order pizza for my family of 3 it comes out to like $65+ with tax and delivery, it’s insane. Took them to burger king the other day, we got 3 meals and a couple of apple turnovers and it came out to $50+, shit is insane.

I generally order only when I can’t. Like when the day has been a hectic disaster, it’s 20 minutes from dinner, I haven’t had a chance to go to the store or cook, and the kids gotta eat.

You’re not going to want to hear this, but to survive going forward and not be constantly ordering take out or fast food, we all have to do better in planning ahead. The world is full of poverty traps, and keeping people too busy to cook for themselves is part of the plan. Batch meals, soups, leftovers.

I genuinely wish I was well off enough to have a “fuck it, it’s only $65” attitude lol.
We meal prep/etc because, if we don’t, we’ll starve.

Yeah. During the pandemic I realized fuck eating out. Why is the main public activity going to a fucking restaurant anyway? We need more museums. Like, lots more.
I will say tho, fast food salads (pick up not delivery) are worth it. I bought a $25 salad from a deli chain & said this is too expensive. So next week I spent $20 on salad ingredients & made a salad. I didn’t feel like a salad for a couple days & all ingredients wilted.

You gotta order online and use their apps or can cut the price by half if not more. They are making their prices punitive for not using their apps now.

They’re giving you a discount via app because they’re collecting your data

Oh for sure, but the alternative is getting scammed. 😔

You’re still getting scammed it’s just less immediately obvious

Did a fast casual place last week with 3 other adults. 65 dollars for 4 burgers, 3 drinks, and 2 small fries. Of course they asked me for a tip.
I really try to avoid restaurants. Every time I go I end up angry.

What’s that 20$ per pizza. 3 pizzas? That’s pricy pizza. Is it good pizza at least?
Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Nah…

Maaan!! That’s crazy prices! Have you ever tried buying a frozen marg pizza and putting ur own toppings on. That’s what I do and it usually costs way less with minimal effort.

In Romania a pizza is $4-6 for a small one and for a large one $8-10

Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Nah man, sit downs have doubled in price too. I took them to a sit down place a few months back and it came out to like $150

idunnololz@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I assume it includes stuff like tax and tip. $110 x 1.13 tax x 1.18 tip = $147.
