    the ‘nice local places’ around me just raise their prices, too. two or more can eat at a chain fast-food place for the price of one basic lunch at a ‘local’ restaurant.

      Ah, unfortunate. Here they’re raising too, but not as fast as the international chains.

          Who says I don’t? If I cook 80 meals at home a month that still leaves space for 10 meals not made at home.

            I know. I just hear people complain about how expensive it is. I mean, if you can afford it go for it. But If your budget is stretched to the limit (or beyond) then perhaps consider making food at home. Yes I love fast food, but for what they charge I could get three meals made at home for the comparative cost. (And I find it tastes better too.)

              Fair enough. I usually take that option when I’m out and about. If I’m home most of the day, I’m not going to get fast food.

              My budget isn’t stretched to the limit, but I could also make a meal for 3-4 people for less than a large meal at McD with two sauces for the large fries. So I do indeed cook at home most of the time.
