Where the fuck are people going out? Dinner and drinks with my wife and kids rarely breaks 100.

depends on the girl/guy, if they are vain, or expect the other to pay for an expensive meal.

Sure… but how many drinks can your kids really put away?

Where do you live? Because in LA it's extremely easy to break the $100 threshold for a single person to eat. That's literally an appetizer, a main course, and a drink or two.

I live in DTLA now. I just spent less than $15 on a burger and a blueberry cider at Glory Burgers.

I swear people have terrible financial skills.

It's all over the place right now.

I can get a meal for wife and girls for $150 at BJs, including a couple of drinks, but when we start straying up it gets above $200 real quick.

Fuck Doordash, I hadn't used it in a while and we briefly considered it this weekend. Priced a meal for 5, from a local Mexican place, no booze, and it was $230.
