I don't get it either. I grabbed some burgers & fries from a local take out place last night (so not a chain) for my husband and I, and 2 burgers, 1 large fry, and a large coke cost about $21 with the tax. $20 is cold cuts for the whole week from our local deli (turkey, corned beef, prosciutto, cheese) There's no way a fast food meal is cheaper than buying some ingredients and making things yourself.
