> I recently heard that a trip to Popeye's for a family of 3 recently cost $68 in Florida. Just checked online. 8pc family meal of spicy white meat with large mash potatoes and gravy, one sweet tea, one purple lemonade, one chilled premium mango lemonade = $41.05 @ 1501 NW 20th St, Miami, FL 33142 Bring-your-own-liquids = $30.38 Either ordering at the counter is criminally expensive, or you were listening to someone who wanted to spend $68 at Popeye's in Florida so they could complain about spending $68 at Popeye's in Florida.

That 8pc 'family meal' feeds 2 people. The sweet teas don't count as food - they may as well be dumped down the sink. Feeding a family of four would need 2 of those 8 piece meals, so $60.

  Looking at the Popeyes menu, the 8pc family meal is $32.99 and feeds 3-4 people (3218-3738 calories) If that’s not enough, you order the larger portion, not double your quantity. 12pc family meal: $42.99 for 4-6 people (4992-6032 calories) 16pc family meal: $52.99 for 6-8 people (6766-8326 calories) Have you folks seen a Popeyes family meal? They’re not tiny… eating that many calories in one sitting is not the best idea.

    Half those calories are from the drinks. Like I said, pour it down the drain, it just pumps the numbers.

      Their family meals don’t include drinks.

  We Americans are used to overeating. In Asia 1 piece of chicken and a small side (kids size) is enough for 1 person.

My partner and I spent ~$70 CAD at popeyes the other day for two adults. I got a sandwich + fries + slaw, they got tenders, we both got fountain drinks. that's about $50 USD.

  The chicken sandwich large combo at Popeyes consists of the sandwich, 2 sides (fries, slaw), and a fountain drink — $14.99. The 5pc chicken tenders regular combo (tenders, fries, biscuit, fountain drink) is $15.99. Where did the other ~$20 USD come from?

  I don't know how you're paying that much. Sandwich + Tenders + 2 Cole slaws + 2 bottled 500ml drink + one fries, as combos here in western Canada total up to $50 CAD for me on DoorDash...
