The thing that bothers me about this is although my wife and I do fine, we're both a couple of jews when it comes to bang for your buck. I just can't pay $12 for something that even if I had 15 helpings cost them $.25 in ingredients. It's a x cost thing. I'm willing to pay 4 or 5x cost (over grocery prices) to have someone cook up a nice steak for me, or to have In and Out whip me up some double doubles, but I'm just not willing to pay 20-30x cost for pasta or bread that's on par with hamburger helper (which wife and I gladly will pay for).
Out of all the chains olive garden is the only one I truly loathe. I think last time I went there years and years ago I paid like 15 bucks for 2lbs of pasta and like a gram of chicken breast. Go fuck yourself you greedy fucks.
