    PC upgrades of course, but also I refuse to pay for a coffee out these days. Sometimes I do it if I’m with someone but never alone. It’s very expensive.

    Also burgers out, I never buy them, but also because they are not very good and the pride is ridiculous. Last time I checked, Burger King double whopper menu was 14 dollars in my country. Probably more expensive now.

      Sit down places are over 20 where I’m at. I’ve seen a burger for $27. Fuck that. Ground beef is also pretty expensive but it’s not even close. I use my grill and it comes out better anyway.

        That’s truly insane, 20 dollars… Wtf.

        I guess they rely on the truly stupid and lazy to pay those prices.

          My mom for this last year had a home helper who was making around $21 an hour. She would order lunch every day through Grub Hub, usually $15-$20 just for the food and then another $10 for the delivery. She was willing to work for an hour and a half just to pay for her lunch. And she would always complain about how shitty and cold the food was. Even weirder is that she was a great cook herself, I provided whatever groceries she wanted, and she had plenty of time to cook whatever she wanted, and she still did the Grub Hub shit. I just do not get people.

          People treat eating out as an activity/entertainment, I think. I think that’s how they’re still in business with a $27 burger.
