2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Yeah when taco bell is $40 for two of us and going to the sit down Mexican restaurant is $40, I'm going to pick food that gives me leftovers every time.
Taco Bell being cost-prohibitive is so wild to me. I remember going there so many times in high school in the 90's and being able to get a veritable feast for $5.
No matter what you get it's 90% beans, veggies, cheese, and corn. There's no reason for this product to be high dollar except for motherfucking CEO's.
I remember getting veritable feasts from Taco Bell for $5 in like 2018
I remember the taco bell challenge, order 10 dollars of food and try to finish it all. Now you can't get a meal for that price...
I can still get my bean burritos and a drink for like $8. That being said I haven't been to one in months
The $.99 bean burrito? Well, it was like $1.29 cause I'd get sour cream.
It's like $1.50 now 😭
I figure it this way too, but then after I've eaten at the sit-down place the bill turns out to be $80.
My wife and I went out this year and the bill was $200 for a sit down Italian in our suburban town. I don’t even like Italian.
We did a tiki lounge more recently in the city and it was $150.
These are nicer ish places but like, that’s a lot.
$200 is crazy! We have some places like that here but, I live in a tourist town where the shitty chilli's is $26 for one meal of burger and fries. But then you go one town over and everything is so much cheaper.
40$ is on the low end, think 70-100+ $, for people addicted to eating out.
family dinners events can be hundreds or up to a 1000$+
Yeah it very much depends where we go near me. Place we went to a few Fridays ago $40+tip for two of us, good portions, good food. Other place we go to, slightly smaller portions but still good food, $65+tip. I literally order the same thing at both places.
