Where do you live such that a premade salad in a bowl is cheaper than a Big Mac? I'd argue that a bagged salad with multiple servings without the dressing (in same cases, with the dressing) would be as much or cheaper. I don't think I'd be able to find an open-and-eat salad under ~$4. Not at a grocer and certainly not at a convenience store nor restaurant. Bagged salads are definitely cheaper per server by a wide margin though.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoThis whole thread is really poor without knowing the locality of commenters. In UK a Big Mac is £2.99 [1] (ie ~$3.75), [2] says it's ~214g and 500kcal. Apparently it has 42g of salad in it [4]. Tesco, one of the biggest UK supermarkets, sell bowled salads at around the £1 mark, [3]; that's for 100g and about 100kcal. Per kcal the Big Mac is cheaper. Assuming you need food to meet a particular energy intake per day then eating _these_ salads will be ~60% more expensive than eating Big Macs.

- mrob 10y agoThat Big Mac is bad value for money. Burger King sells double cheeseburgers for £1.50, which gives you twice the protein and 1.7x the calories for the money.
