Unless we are talking about steak, I can eat dozens of meals for around $2 to $3. That's me, mind you, and if you my wife ate, that would be double that, or anyone else in my household. From Potatoes, Mac & Cheese, etc. under $3. Red Baron Pizza, under $2. Pot Pie, Lasagna, Spaghetti, and SO many other meals, IF you cook them, are right under $3 for one person. People are vain now, and women, much less men don't want to cook because women are too busy being feminist, and men are too lazy to save money. So the restaurants rake in millions, for at times over-priced food. Capitilaztion on LAZY!!!
