Honestly, you people bitching about Taco Bell being too expensive are part of the reason why things are so fucked up. It's garbage and what you put in your body you get out. Eat fucking real food and you'll have less problems.

2 chicken quesadillas
2 soft shell taco supremes
no drinks
$20

That’s weimar republic inflation
 Quoting: Seething


Instead of eating at Taco Bell or other overpriced fast food, we've been going to cheap diners, places like Denny's and Ihop. Their prices are up too, but we got more food and it was only a bit more than fast food. AND it felt like we went out to eat instead of running the car around a building to get substandard food wrapped in papers.

There are still some cheaper restaurants out there. We also go to a mom and pop diner that has really good specials that rival the fast food prices even when you consider tip.

Portion sizes at restaurants are still on the hefty side. We usually bring our own tupperware containers and put enough for the next day's lunch in it and still have a great dinner.

If you calculate the cost of the fast food meal above and the next day's lunch, I think the cheap diner that can provide both would be less expensive.

Chatting ( insane style )

£8.50 or £9.50 + a drink.

They would reduce cost with either ho made beef broth or maybe concentrate.

Make refined beans ( why are these tins expensive. Wtf is special about a refried bean )

White rice instead of fancy brown rice.

Bulk spices.

Regular tomatoes instead of packs of cherry tomatoes.

Ho made lime, coriander, jalepeno condiment ( maybe the avacado version )

but obviously they might decide on a different burrito.

Good shit though.

For the price of 3 quesadillas at taco bell you can go to kroger and make 8 chicken quesadillas.

Right now kroger has great deals on shredded/ 8 ounce blocks of cheese. They have a 2 pound pack of premarinated chicken thighs for 6.99. An 8 count burrito sized pack of flour tortillas is about $2.50. That right there is approx. $10. Shred one 8 ounce block of mozzarella and one 8 ounce block of medium cheddar. That's another $3.50.

3 chicken quesadillas at taco bell is about $15. You can make them fatter, juicier, and tastier at home.

I made some for us last night.

Made an arbol salad, and a pico/guac combo.

I chop cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, habanero, and tomato, then diced avocado and mix that in. I keep it chunky. Juice some lime over top, dash in some garlic salt Anda pinch of sugar. It's fire and much better.

I do like the $2 grilled chicken Chipotle burrito at taco taco though. And those nacho fries. Yummy!

$21 to feed 5 people, as opposed to $75 ($15 per person averaged).

Correct, it use to be that a small meal at a fast food resteruant was about 1/6 of your hourly pay in the 90's. Now it is one and one-half hour of your hourly pay or in some cases twice as much.

The way I see it, might as well spend a few dollars more and
dine in or go get carry out at a better, resturant. As, the price will not vary that much.And the bread and appitizers coem free.
