It's crazy how much more expensive fast food is than groceries nowadays. [1] I feel like 10y ago the difference wasn't as large.
Restaurants are hit or miss. My nicer local places are more expensive but not like fast food.
Generally, it's as great a time as ever to know how to cook stuff from scratch with whatever is on sale.
[1] I paid $8 and change (BOGO) for ten locally-grown, free range boneless chicken thighs last week and grilled them up. Sandwiches, pasta, wraps, chicken salad all week. $8 doesn't even buy a 6pc McNugget meal where I live.
