PP who fed family (which consisted of 3 adults, a toddler and a breastfeeding infant who was ok). Fast food worked for that stretch of time because it was end of day when adults would pool funds (and no time/bandwidth for grocery store). Trips to grocery stores usually included some WIC/TANF assist and often enough one of the adults would steal food for the home. Lunch only happened when a co-worker decided to bring back cocoa bread to share with the office. I’d forgotten how it was a daily mission to get the enough funds for whatever the Taco Bell, McDonald’s or KFC deal of the moment was. How quickly I’ve forgotten.

You screwed up. They are currently buy one, get one for $1.
You should have gotten two.

This makes no sense. We never had enough money for fast food. Had to make meals.

Are they having any specials? Like 2 for $5 deals?

It’s not that bad. Nobody dies or get sick from McDonalds every once in awhile.

So did I. My kid wanted the Little Mermaid toys.

Enjoy my friend! Don’t ruin an occasional tasty treat with shame.

Don't feel bad, OP, I got 10 Taco Bell taco's for $23 because my kid had a Friday night end of week craving. He scarfed seven and I inhaled the remaining three. Now I'm satiated for the next six months. McD's isn't bad in moderation. You're fine.

I once had it four nights in a row. Very long-distance move & was temporarily living without a car. Was in no condition to cook. Ordered it off GrubHub.

Every once in a while, it is a treat (especially if we are on the road, and need a bathroom or food that will be served in minutes).

No shame…
