Reply to comment by pomegranatecloud in Cheapest places to eat in the city? by Gamer1189

The classic reddit response. There's always a highly upvoted comment that completely disregards the question. Technically right, but far from helpful.

and if they're not from here and staying in a hotel, it's an absolutely useless response

I think it was quite helpful, especially since we don't know the basis for the OP's question. To save money and fill the belly? For a cheap date? For having friends out? All depends.

Disregarded the question? OP asked for cheap places to eat. It's a cheap place to eat. No better place to treat a friend or potential lover than cooking them a meal...

This is something that can easily be changed. Not like it takes rocket science to prepare a simple meal for oneself.

I used to put a little water in a baking dish add some chicken and veggies cook it in my toaster oven and had enough to feed several people. I could eat for several days for maybe $15. I had a dorm fridge so I could only keep but so much at a time.

I’m a good home cook, but I am shocked how little or incapable a lot of people are. It’s truly more common than you think!

Oh I know it's common and thats why I gave my personal example. I honestly think that our lifestyles have so much going on that life is pretty much zoomed by. It would be great to just take the time to learn some practical skills and as far as that's concerned I feel it should be taught at home to both males and females.

I had to learn how to do so and I'm glad I did
