Home made ‘gourmet’ food vs junk food price – do you have fun comparisons?

I'm under the impression that anything I cook at home, no matter how much I splurge on my favourite foods, will be cheaper than junk food.

Here is my comparison:

• 'gourmet' food – salmon + asparagus (chosen because I love them, but also because both are among the most expensive stuff here).

• junk food – BigMac menu.

.

0.5 kg of salmon + 0.5 kg of aspargus is about 16 euro. That's a 2-people meal. So about 8 euro / meal (Bonus – the effort to cook is minimal).

If I replace the salmon with cheaper fish or seafood, it will go as low as 5 euro.

The BigMac menu (= 1 meal) is about 7 euro (no desert).

.

So ok, maybe not technically cheaper, but around the same price. I think you get my point.
