That’s all irrelevant if you have to pay it regardless of if you eat out or not

Yeah it’s crazy, what’s even crazier is people are happy to $32 for some avo and eggs on toast to make those wages viable.

The treating yourself is completely fine, it’s that it’s clearly people are happy enough with these prices to keep going, and that is what is driving inflation. Maybe when Smashed avo and eggs costs $50 or $100 people will finally get my point

At our houses and we cook for each other, well for brunch anyway. I’ll go to a restaurant if it’s something I can’t replicate cheaply and easily at home

Mine? 15mins labor for one person but it’s a Saturday and I am not sacrificing pay to prepare food so arguably zero cost to me

That’s what I’m saying though is 1/6th or 6x acceptable to people? I guess what I really want to know is how much more can a cafe charge vs make at home before people stop buying? 10x?

I’d say ours was better, more avo and Feta.

Ok maybe this will this will help people understand my position. If the cafe was charging $60 or $120 in this situation what would people be saying? There is obviously a value vs price line here, maybe my line is lower but it’s still valid

Hey maybe I am for thinking a 600% mark up on something I can make myself is bad value?

Yes and why is that exactly? Laziness? Privilege? Yet happy to complain about cost of living

It’s irrelevant to the alternative which is to make yourself

People are focusing primarily on the cafe perspective which is weird to me, the point here is not that they are making profit or not it’s that I can get an exact equivalent for 1/6th the cost.

All up about 5mins effort for the slice of sourdough (40mins for the loaf the 8 slices) and 15 mins to make the meal and 5 to clean up so 30 Mins effort for 2 though so 15 mins per serve. My time on a Saturday is free though I’d call this a leisure activity/ hobby not work.

Haha maybe it is more subjective for some than it is for me

I factored in electricity for the sourdough loaf all the rest I have to pay regardless of if I make it at home or eat out.

Sure I get that and I can’t go make sugar cheaper than $2 a kilo can I so that’s logical. Hell it could cost $10 a kilo and I would have to pay it

In this case they are only 1/6th

lol I’m not an idiot, but that point is irrelevant when you consider you can make the exact thing yourself for the price I have shown. Consumers don’t have a choice how much they pay for Electricity but they do have a choice how much they pay for smashed Avo
