With the dollar menus, fast food can be pretty cheap. Church's here
is back to running their leg+thigh for 99 cents on Tuesdays. Del
Taco's bean+cheese burritos are 99 cents, and the beans aren't canned
crap. If not quite "as" cheap, really close.

Cooking for one or two, fish can mean a lot of oil being thrown away.
Deep frying in general, say French fries, can too. Food waste can
happen easily when one buys an item such as bacon for one use, then
puts it in the fridge until it's thrown out.
There's also this. A person's time is worth something. When
preparing something *good*, that prep time itself can be a joy,
whereas time spent making food that is "not bad" (and smoking anything
usually involves buying charcoal, which is pricey), is more like a
chore.
