Eating is one of life's more enjoyable pleasures and people should try to make the most out of every meal. Restaurants aren't as expensive as most people make them out to be. Some are affordable while still remaining tasteful and delightful. Some places, like Starbucks for example, are thought of as expensive coffee houses with nothing served besides a bucket of whipped cream and a teaspoon of espresso. This just isn't true (except the part about the whipped cream... that's totally true).
A list from restaurantmenuprices.net shows the current prices of Starbucks' breakfast sandwiches. I compared them to the prices of McDonald's breakfast meals. They're relatively the same price... no joke.
Results,
Avg. Price: $3.46
Avg. Price: $3.61
Not as bad as you originally thought eh? Let's do the math. The average breakfast meal at Starbucks is only fifteen cents more than the average McDonald's meal. Sort'a makes you think. I'll take Starbucks over McDonald's any day.
