We have all but stopped drive thru when out for a concert or other events. What we do now is pack some home made sandwiches with some chips, etc for the drive home.

I still do mcd sometimes when working but I only order off the deals or redeeming points for something. I never pay full price.

If you’re in the more western states (and even some parts of central) US, In N Out. One of the best quality to price ratio you’ll get.

I can get a burrito cheaper: made out of actual food, way healthier for me and way more filling. And I can ask for extra hot sauce

I don't go there but when I'd drop in to use a bathroom while travelling I always found it shockingly expensive. I'd rather go to the local hole in the wall dumpling joint and get a plate full of real homemade and inexpensive food any day.

Life hack: you take some bread, put some ham and cheese on top of it, put another slice of bread on top and boom! you've got food! If you're feeling fancy you add tomato, lettuce, hard boiled egg, tuna or anything else.

For less than the cost of a Big Mac, fries and a Coke, you can buy a loaf of fresh bread and some good cheese or roast beef, which you will enjoy much more

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 1 points 1 year ago

In Spain we do cured goat/sheep cheese and some cured ham/salchichon. Put that between fresh, home made bread and your golden.

If you're not at home, you can easily find flat surfaces to prepare your food on, known as benches. They are available in any park that hasn't had them removed just to spite the homeless. You can also add butter to your park bench sandwiches using a credit or debit card.

!I actually knew someone who did so while making food to sell at a funeral to raise money for the deceased.!<

Or you can make your sandwich at home and wrap it in some food grade wrapping material (like aluminum foil).
