My boyfriend (20) and I (18) have been living together for 2 years in an urban apartment. For us, it usually goes like this:
- Delivery
- Eating out
- Cooking at home
We visit our parents (and they visit us) often, and they give us lots of home-cooked food. We mostly cook at home just for fun.
I’m curious what it’s like for other people, especially in different age groups or family setups!
Bullshit.
Checks out actually if you have a main and pudding or a drink. Not many places will be cheaper than that.
Where are you talking about that this is the case?
We can do internet searches to see if you’re correct.
They gave prices in GBP (almost certainly, almost no one else uses £), I also l live in the UK and can confirm it’s a pretty reasonable statement to make.
A few fast food options might be a bit less but can you seriously count that as a restaurant?
Maybe I could have been clearer about the number of courses I was talking about.
The last meal I went out for was a family outing paid for by a relative. There were five of us (one a child) and we all had a two course meal and drinks. The bill was well in excess of £100. This was not an upscale restaurant.
Yes there were cheaper options on the menu. The starters, and maybe a couple of the mains were under £10, but that’s just one course.
There are also cheaper restaurants to go to. Much cheaper.
Your argument made it seem like there are no cheaper restaurants, which is false.
You’re choosing to pay that price.
Why are you being so unpleasant?
I’m curious where you live that dining out is so cheap and welfare pays so much.
This guy lives at Golden Corral in the middle of Oklahoma or something
You don’t have to be curious. Just about everywhere there is civilization, you can eat at a restaurant for under THIRTY-FOUR FUCKING DOLLARS. The fact this needs to be spelled out to you should be a wake up call to anyone who isn’t living in your privileged bubble.
A better question would be, where are you living where you can’t find a meal for under that price? I’d love to know so we can do some internet searching and see if you’re telling the truth.

Original comment was a bit hyperbolic.
More realistic number for anything that requires 20% tipping, 20usd in any tier 1 and tier 2 us cities. That’s like very basic one dish, nothing else.
Again, you’re wrong.
What cities are you talking about? I’ll show you restaurants that are cheaper than what you say.
Also, tipping is a scam and every time you do it you keep it going on for longer.
