Listen up you fucking retards. This is what I cooked two nights ago. Rice and beans with chorizo.

>mexican beef chorizo $1.70 - 1015 calories
>cup of shredded cheese $2.00 (total cost of bag was $4.00) - 440 calories
>can of black beans $0.80 - 385 calories
>can of chicken broth $0.80
>half container of hot salsa $0.60 - 50 calories
>1 cup of rice ~$0.25 - 640 calories
>sweet potato $0.80 - 115 calories
>tbsp olive oil $who knows - 120 calories

Total cost of meal ~$7.00 - 2765 calories

Little Caesars Pizza $6.00 - 2500 calories

I bought double of everything except for salsa, cheese, rice so I could make the recipe twice in a row for the purpose of not letting anything go to waste. Yes I know I could have saved a few cents (maybe even a whole dollar!) if I shredded the cheese myself, or bought a massive bag of beans / rice at costco or something, I don't fucking care. My point is that HOME COOKED FOOD IS NOT SUBSTANTIALLY CHEAPER THAN FAST FOOD and this completely ignores all the other factors. If I knew that fat niggers were going to hold up the line at kroger I would have not went out that day to get the ingredients. If I knew that a mentally ill homeless guy was going to ask me for money in the parking lot and spit in front of me when I said I don't carry change, I would have not fucking gone to the grocery store that day.

Your ramen noodles with sliced bell pepper, chicken strips, mushrooms or whatever the fuck etc. is not fucking SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper than fast food.
