As a home cook I find both very expensive. I cook witb a ton of different kinds of veggies herbs and spices. I shop at the Korean grocery and pack lunch for the whole family of 4. We eat out one night a week. My grocery bill is approx $140 a week. That means each meal for each family member comes out to $1.75 per person per meal. You cannot feed anyone on that small amount eating at ANY fastfood restaurant. We eat very healthy and most people consider my cooking gourmet. I spare no expense and eat wheat free, so no cheap pastas, breads, or pastries.
My food bill is higher, but I have teenage boys. But, I totally agree. A whopper and drink for one kid is like $7. It's about $2 at home. And since a whopper alone isn't enough for them, each kids bill is closer to $10.
