Mcdonals, Double cheeseburger + mcChicken with pickels + water $2 + tax

KFC - 2 Buffalo snackers + water, $2+tax, not as filling as either #1 or #2 but tasty

Buffalo Wild wings. 50 cent leg day. Order 12 legs for 3 meals, $2 + tax per meal of 4 legs

Usedto get 2 poboys, buy one get one free for ?? price, good deal and filling

3 medium pizzas for $15, makes 6 meals of half a pizza each, $2.50 each meal, frozen then cooked in a toaster oven aint bad.

Most of my meals are less than $5 and not so much that you will gorge and get fat

I call shens. What possible reason could you have for eating fast food most days during the week? Not only are you spending a ton of money unnecessarily, but you're probably going to end up with heart disease at some point in your life.

 

[Savarak]

2 loafs of white bread: ~2 bucks (or less than 30c if you make your own)
1 24 sliced american cheese: ~4 bucks
2 lb sliced turkey meat: ~6 bucks
Mayo: ~ 2 bucks
Lettuce: ~1 buck
================
= ~24 turkey sandwiches: less than $15 total

 

[Savarak]

Oh, what i used to do is buy turkey and lettuce/broccoli sprouts, and stock up on Jimmy John's day old bread for 50c each... mmmmm
