eah it’s a good $40-50 to even cook a modest meal these days for my family of five if I want any left overs.

No way. You cooking steaks?
Lot of folks use this reasoning to just eat fast food.
As an example. Red beans and rice , add sausage. $8 -10 max. Feed 10 people on that.
Many chicken and pork recipes for meat that’s pretty cheap. Can buy a 10# bag of leq quarters for under $10.
Hell, you can by two chickens from Walmart for $13, a 10 lb bag of potatoes for $10, family sized mac n cheese $6, broccoli for $5-6. What the heck.
Had an argument w my fat a$$ed buddy, he claims he eats fast food for lunch everyday ($15) because it's cheaper than making a decent salad at home.
I guess people look at me and think my skinny butt is poor. They don't know I'm just a cheap a$$.
People just don't eat they way we did 30-40 years ago. Back then most of the population ate to live, not the other way around.
