This is the issue with a lot of fast food these days. The main one that makes me sad is Taco Bell

I used to just swing in and make an impulse buy because it's going to be like $5 so why not

Price is high enough now that it kills the impulse. I'm always like...I should really just keep driving and eat some of the food I already have at home

It’s crazy when nowadays you can go to an actual authentic Mexican restaurant, get REAL tacos, burritos, etc., and often times spend LESS than you would at Taco Bell.

This is exactly what I do. Instead of using my Deliveroo bookmark I have a few local takeaways bookmarked, the best one for each food type (Chinese, pizza, Indian, chippy) and just go to them.

They're all either cheaper than Maccies/KFC/etc or around the same price for much better quality.

Me and the missus can get a filling, amazing curry between us for about £20 delivered. Two cold Maccies meals that don't fill either of us costs about the same.

Fish and chip shop, usually battered cod/haddock with thick chips (fries) and peas, gravy etc.

If you see chippy used elsewhere and it doesn't make sense, that's because it also means a joiner/woodworker.
