Regarding the OP's price tag, you should have paid 65-75 USD for it, right?

Now why would you do something that silly in the first place? Are you dieting? If so, that's still not a good combination long term.

I see. You're aware that even with limited funds, $30 can be stretched quite far. I don't know what food prices are like in the area you live in but in my area (Lower Mainland, BC, Canada), $30 could easily get: a pack of bread containing four uncut loafs (whole wheat or white bout $4), box noodles (bout $6), couple packages of cubed beef that could be stretched out quite a bit if some was frozen ($8), large jar of peanut butter ($7). Blowing $30 on what really looks to be a poor quality meal isn't exactly financially sound

$30 buys a shitload of ramen noodles as well as the gas/electricity to heat it. The healthiest meal? No. But there's been periods in my life where it kept my ass alive.

You're like the guy that goes to McDonald's and gets $30 worth of 99 cent cheeseburgers.
This thread is awesome! I want an In and Out Burger in Wisconsin. When I went to one in Vegas it was delicious!
BTW OP, not to rub it in, but Fazolis fast food italian restaurant food looks better than your image and its about 1/5th the price!
Better have been from NYC or it doesn't matter! :lol
I've went to some Italian restaurants when I visited New York awhile back, and they are good. Having said this, I found a local Italian restaurant in Wisconsin which is better. Suck it down new yoarkerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsssssss good italian food exists outside of your small territory!

Exactly. There are just so many ways to make $30 last ... but I think we've collectively beaten that into his head enough

penne in pesto sauce with chicken.
Last week me and my friends had a challenge. We went to Burger King and got the most fattening meal you can possibly get there. So that was a triple Whooper with cheese, king size fries, and a king size chocolate shake. We all finished it and ended up just laying around one of our houses, feeling horrible, and laughing at how stupid that was. Good times.

You know, in some large supermarket chains you can get some pasta with sauce, and some garlic bread for under $8. Just remembered place down the road

"king size chocolate shake"
They have those at yours? The ones by me only let you go up to "large" which uses the large soda cups.

Yeah they have king sized. I don't suggest you drink it though. I regretted it the second I finished all of it and the morning when I took the most uncomfortable shit of my life.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:"king size chocolate shake"

"My heart actually hurt a little when I was half done with the burger and shake and all done with the fries. It did taste pretty amazing though."
I never had a triple whopper since I could never finish that but when I got the loaded steakhouse my chest hurt too and a lot more than any single whopper I've had but was delicious. So good but so ungodly unhealthy. I feel bad for the OP though if he really is that short on money he was probably really excited to have that meal, even if it was overpriced and now everyone killed it for him.
