    I take my daughter out to lunch and I just don’t eat now. $18 for a bowl of spaghetti bolognese, I’ll just drink water while she eats thanks

      I ain’t tryin’ to blame ya, just to be clear but:

      • Bahn Mí is way cheaper and way more fun.
      • Shawarma is usually pretty cheap and if it’s still $20 for a plate you best believe you’ll have a meal to share.
      • The last tip could probably work for a whatever burrito place’s big burrito. They always got a really big one on the menu somewhere.

      Italian food from a restaurant is such a ripoff. I can make a way better pasta with some ground beef or pork, store-bought sauce, and some random pasta, and I get the option to add other vegetables that they either don’t include or have in pathetically small amounts.
