Nevada voted for Trump. Got what they voted for
If you shop them right you can get a good base for 2 or 3 meals if you supplement them with cheaper sides like soup, au gratin potatoes, mac & cheese, etc. You can freeze the deli meals too and they thaw still tasting pretty fresh. They’re a good substitute or base for full meals sometimes and they are always a better and more affordable option than fast food
inconvenient truths…
🤑🤑🤑
People are getting lazy that's the problem
I love Chinese-to-go in Chinatown.
Poor quality and high prices Fast food be damned 😒
Fast food made 450 billion last year? How much has grocery stores made?
Buffets is cheaper than fast food
deli selection at the grocery store always hits i’ve had everything from meatloaf to sushi
The premade meals @ Safeway stores are nice, as well.
I cook better steaks then every restaurant in town, and yet my wife still goes to TX roadhouse for the atmosphere. I make sure not to get the steak because it's never worth it, but not much these days is.
McDonald’s and others are all multi billion dollar corporations and they want more of my money. I refuse to give those bloodsuckers any more of my money.
All these companies are greedy. Steal as much as you can while you can.
Knock off brands are no longer cheap. Great value is cheaper by a few cents. Everything is corrupt
This woman reads the news like a middle schooler gives a book report to the class
Trumps economy
More tariffs ! 🤡 more money to Iran 🤡
I buy what folks bought back in the old days, dry beans, potatoes, onions, etc. I make a 5 quart pot of chili (in the crock pot), for $5.37.
“Convince costs”, you don’t like it, learn to cook. Fast food and grocery store workers deserve that livable wage and grocery industry is well known to have very slim margins. So go work more hours and quit yer whinin’.
Basically we have turned the world into a campus. The world university and the supermarkets are now the chow halls.
We live in a Role playing Game.
How about home cooked meals has America forgot about those? 😂😂😂😂
i just cant comprehend going to mcdonalds and burger king etc.. that food is just so disgusting.
As a late millennial, I can say I cook my own meals. Breakfast lunch n dinner. If you have to eat out, I’d say this is the better option. Money wise n health wise.
Thank u Bud for sharing this. Sharon sent me some pics this morning when I checked in on her. I continue to send pet food directly to her when I can and have " adopted" one of her seniors. Barnardsville needs our help. Hopefully everyone can help a bit. 💜
Typical lazy Americans. Just buy ingredients and cook at home. Convenient but expensive. No time to cook? But time for TV and other activities……Lazy!!
Maybe cook at home
They are doing it because they see it being successful over in Japan. It has nothing to do with prices. Convenience has a price too.
Hell yeah. 8 oz of tuna salad on sale from the deli for $2.
The correct answer to "Why you don't eat fast food?" is: Because it is poison
And so is most of that garbage being sold in the grocery store. Here's a hint: If the food you're buying is required to have a nutrition label, it's because the food you're buying is poison.
Everybody has time to cook. No excuse. If you didn't have fast food, what would people do???
Stock pile. Leave overpriced unhealthy fast food alone.
Learn to cook lazy btchs
goodness, get a crock pot! slice up 2 sweet onions, add pork chops, 1/4 cup water, 1 chicken bouillon cube, pour on some b-b-q sauce, cook on 'slow' 8-10 hrs, serve over rice, steam frozen veggies while rice cooks, dinner is served! Cheap, good, filling.
Do you really need an 80 yr. old granny to explain this stuff to you?
My most favorite is Whole Foods hot bar!! So delicious! Amazing menu!! Almost restaurant quality.
Fast food these days = expensive, not healthy, small portions and sad condiments, and not even delicious!
My god – prepare your own food.
Next thing you know, they will learn to cook their own meals.
Cheapest thing is buying items in bulk and meal prepping, but quality of the food is low.
Still isn't cheap
X yeah they need to stop patronizing these high prices at these ridiculous fast food restaurants they are ripping us off and one of the reasons is because of all of these dumb YouTubers that be going to them buying $100 burgers who does that that's so retarded$50 steak it's been out of control but it's getting worser now
Wait a minute
I THOUGHT PRESIDENT PEDOPHILE
SAID HE 'LOWERED PRICES ON DAAAY ONE!'
And that 'INFLATION IS OVER'
???
This same formula we had taken in Vienna Austria as there were no fast food restaurants for breakfast.
Raising prices and increasing tips. I'm tired of it. I'm buying ready-made food in grocery stores
