I see a lot of complaints about fast food being and other meals becoming much more expensive than usual. I know it’s true because grocery prices are absurd, but I genuinely don’t know what’s considered “expensive” with fast food.

I just instinctively know it’s expensive and never eat out. Like $8 for one small smash burger just seems absurd to me, but apparently that’s always been normal?

We eat way too much shitty junkfood because the kids love it and we often find ourselves out of time to cook a proper meal. For a family of two adults and three children we usually pay somewhere up to the equivalent of USD 60 for all of us. I think that is way too expensive for eating bullshit food out of a cardboard box.

I can't remember when we have been to a proper sit-down restaurant serving real food. That is just too expensive for us. I went to a nice-but-not-fancy Asian fusion place with work recently and the price just for the food there was USD 60 per person. The place was not the cheapest place in town but it was certainly not the most expensive either.

There's no good cheap ethnic places either. There's lots of pizza/döner places run by middle easterners with relatively low prices but the average quality of these is such that "Turkish pizza" has become a pejorative for disgusting greasy pizzas. Even the money laundering fronts are serving crappy food here.
