    So $0.80 for a burger or $0.99 for a double cheeseburger. I’ll take the double.

    Besides that, if you only had $5 to spend you could not have bought the supplies to make a single burger for $5. Have to buy at least a pound of beef, a whole pack of buns, etc. Even in your example I’d argue fast food was cheaper.

      Well yeah, the last time I did the math was probably 2006 or something lol

      Though the prices I’m seeing currently are $7.94 for 2lbs, $2.88 for 8 buns, $2.48 for 24 cheese slices.

      $1.51 per 1/4lb cheese burger.

      tbh I have no idea how much this stuff costs without looking it up anymore, I just eat vegetables and beans now lol
