Just threw together a Teriyaky Chicken with chopped-garlic udon-noodles and random veggies (broccoli and grated zucchini, onion and bean sprouts)
took 10-ish minutes. Was actually really good. Pic is my wifes tiny portion, she was not hungry, mine was slightly larger. Fresh noodles are filling.

Would you pay 1.5$ (one dollar fifty cents) for this (excluding wine)? I would make a nice profit if you did.
Meanwhile "poor" people pay 20$ for door-dash to bring them a big mac.
Agreed.
As posted before ANYONE... and I mean ANYONE can make good assed meals and do it on the cheap.
but again with the mindset of GENERATION FAIL. they want everything convenient and will do EXCATLY just what you have posted.
AND as a fact this is how I finally reached the 1% (March 22nd 2022 I reached that level) wealth bracket. By saving that extra money that I saved from cooking I invested back into my holdings. That extra 38+ grand in two years paid off handsomely. It was all not going out 7 days a week. I now go out 2 days max a week and not all day.
There is a hamburger place I've been going for 27 years now and I like for them to stay open so I patronize over there. I have that luxury now because I worked hard for that luxury, but still... 5 to 6 days of cooking, 3 meals per day that has been prepared and cooked in 1 day and served for the rest of the week.
It's not that hard to do, but you must want to do it if you want to get ahead.
As posted previously this is a price you have some control of. Even with how bad the inflation is going on for food you still have an opportunity to make that decision of getting ahead... I buy in bulk, prep it away and save money on the process.
Or be that fucking asshole who would pay $20 extra for a delivery for a Big Mac.
On that note. I recently scored on 2 things that I enjoy. Since where I live food is stupid high. 24 pounds of Bacon @ $65 and 10 pounds of Thick Cut T-Bones for $50, well the Bacon will last me 8 to 10 months and the T-Bones will last me 2 months or so as I rotate my meat.
And I eat big assed hearty meals on the cheap because I can cook and will make the time to do so.
OH.... again on that note it would be wise to stock up on your spices if you have not done that yet.
I recently scored on 2 pounds of dried minced onions, parsley, and 2 pounds of minced garlic. Still looking for a good price on 2 pounds of powdered onions. Already have 50 pounds of rice and flour and a gallon of Ketchup. I have plastic containers for the ketchup and of course I will freeze what I do not immediately use.
Even though I do buy my onions and garlic in regular bags, I still use a lot of dry spices in my cooking and they will last a very long time.
As posted previously I stated that things were going to get bad and it is already have started.
So do your research when you are shopping. Don't by luxury items and ride this shit out.
And just remember like the poster of his food. YOU CAN EAT ON THE CHEAP.
