"...burger and fries for about $14" is not in my plans. I never did eat out very much, except for the occasional restaurant meal - no MacDonalds or Burger King. When Covid hit, I stopped any kind of eating out. With a $14 hamburger being the norm, I'll continue to eat at home. I can buy several pounds of chop meat for $14.
Eating out is always more expensive than cook the meal yourself. When you can have hamburger for $5 you could buy several pounds of chop meat for $5 too.
