There are cheaper, easier alternatives to fast food. Eggs are fantastic, especially if they're laid by your own hands, as mine are. Other cheap cooking ideas include cans of soup - or even make your own soup. This is an easy alternative to fast food: you just fry an onion, add a few potatoes, add some flavouring (e.g. carrots) and boil it all up. Then you can liquidise it down. Baked potatoes, pasta with a sprinkling of cheese, and salad are also cheap and easy alternatives to fast food that help save money on shopping. All these things take seconds. They're much nicer.
