How much do you spend on food?, fast food & restaurant Options

[AyeVickaye]

I usually spend $3-$6 on fast food> Subways Mcdonalds, Chickfila

&

At restaurants ususally $7-$15> Johnny carinos Cheesecake fac. Elephant bar

I always look for the cheapest items...&& most of my paychecks are spent on food, gosh i needa start eating healthy...

[heyo-captain-jac...]

I don't care how much it costs, I want good food. I refuse to eat any fast food other than Subway.

[AyeVickaye]

Yeah i want good food too Im not really a fan for burger king or Mcdonalds anymore after watching super size me. I spent $5 on a nasty whooper & value menu fries at burger king when I coulda bought a $5 footlong at subways which is a pretty good deal

same.
my boyfriend and i don't go out often to eat as we're broke most of the time, so maybe, at the most, 20 dollars a month at a nice vegetarian/vegan restaurant close by.

we spend 70 dollars a week[ish] on groceries. it's so cheap because our groceries consist of bags of lentils/beans/nutiritional yeast/etc,etc,etc which are not very expensive but great in a homecooked meal.

We usually go places like Olive Garden and Steakhouses and stuff so we usually spend $15 each. If i go with my bf its free since he refuses to let me pay.

I spent about $30 a week on groceries and I could live off that, but I usually go to subway a few times a week and mcdonalds for hot and spicy mc chickens.

[kryogenix]

good food

SUBWAY

OH U...

[iExquisite]

i eat home-cooked meals
for home-cooked meals to be prepared you have to visit the grocery
it might cost a lot depending on what you are cooking
it's more expensive if i was eating at.. say.. a fast food restaurant

[illriginal]

Typically a good restaurant, you're lookin at no less than $15 for a plate, main course meal. I don't eat much fast food, I'll eat it if there's literally nothing to eat and just want a fast meal. But the only fast food I'll eat is Chipotle, Quiznos, Wendys (their chicken is win), and Chick-fil-A.


If you have a cheesecake factory around you.... you should try it out. But you'll easily spend $15-20 on yourself.

quiznos + chic fil a =

I work at Chickfila & its expensive...well...for me its kinda expensive 3.25 for the CFA sandwich or 8pk nuggets. (I can't buy it all the time) But its real meat, unlike Mcdonalds. the 99cent 5piece nuggets at wendys is jst awesome. For home-cooked meals, my mom usually buys the groceries (Foodmax & costco) she stocks up when the meat fruits or veggies are cheap

[AyeVickaye]

Wow $18 at taco bell? I usually buy the chalupa or off the value menu, steak taquito, & a frutisita. They fcukin discontinued the cheesy melt

meh, i'll check some other time and get back to you. it hasn't been as much lately though 'cause i've put myself on a budget.

dude me too, but it doesn't work very well :[ I always end up getting too lazy to cook and calling people to see if they want to go eat lolol and they never say no

[karmakiller]

I only go out to restaurants every once in a while. When I'm with my friends we usually just make something at someone's house rather than go to dinner or get fast food. I can go months without eating out at a restaurant, but the most I go out to dinner is 3-4 times a month.

[none345678]

restaurants 10-16 (I almost always get a new york strip if they have it)
fast food 5-10 maybe more even

I like to cook, though, and it usually doesn't take me very long. I'm not really into going to a restaurant by myself, lol. When I was younger my family would get fast food a lot more often, but a few years ago I got food poisoning and have been leery ever since.

[AyeVickaye]

I NEED to learn how to cook GOSH. I needa take a cooking class & I needa start eating healthy too "/

[heyo-captain-jac...]

OH U...

Well I actually see them put that together.

If you go to a Burger King or something, you don't see what happens while they're putting your food together. They could jizz in your Whopper and you would never know.

The fact that you say you only eat good food, and say that subway is considered good food and everything else that's exactly like subway but cheaper is shit, is kinda funny. I mean, it's kinda really funny. There's so much other food you could get that's cheaper and better.

If you go to a Burger King or something, you don't see what happens while they're putting your food together. They could jizz in your Whopper and you would never know.

they could easily do that in non-fast food places, especially since most restaurants don't have an open view of the kitchen. good example is the movie waiting. subway isn't the fast food place where you can watch them make your food.

you just never f*ck with people who are making your food.

[iExquisite]

really? its good, you always have to remember that customers are RIGHT (when really they can be wrong sometimes) & you have to get used to saying "my pleasure" gosh i needa new job but the food is free :D on breaks

free food? it just keeps getting better
but the "my pleasure" thing is kind of wack- are you required to say that? is it a must?

for real. these people know how to give you food poisoning. be nice to everyone who serves you and tip well. compliments to the chef are always nice too.

Chyeeeah! free food. I get the CFA sandwich or spicy with 2 provolones & fries. my pleasure Its required when someone says thank you to you...SOMETIMES it really isnt MY PLEASURE when I serve customers because they be given some attitude. Every decemeber theres always a fight and tables get broken, yeah my mall is pretty ghetto.

[AyeVickaye]

I bought a meat & cheese lovers crepe for $7.90 and that shizz was good. but I still consider it expensive.

I didn't say Subway was good food. I said it's the only crappy food I'll eat.

But generally in nice restaurants, they don't have some 18 year old dropout who's covered in zits and grease preparing all the food.
