Just curious what you all would pay for the following in your various locales.

Went out last night. Had 1 Coors Banquet, a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and a side of coleslaw, and 5 Wild Turkey on the rocks. The total before tip was $30.

Relative to my own experience, this seems fairly cheap. Especially in the current climate of inflation. But to some guy in the Congo or someone living under a bridge, this $30 spent might seem a frivolous extravagance. Thoughts?
By Lithuanian standards... 7euro per wild turkey which 7,60ish and 11$ish for burger... We're looking 50$ or so in mid tier place in Vilnius, downtown.

$60-100 Australian. Maybe much more. $60 would be some kind of special.

With a 25 dollar bounty on them in the Lockyer valley region that would be three or four.

Was just at a local upscale place and it was like 82 dollars before tip.
Bacon cheeseburger 13
Beer 4 if it was draft 6 for bottle
Whiskey started at 7 each but WT was 9.

82 if not drinking the bottled banquet beers. 84 otherwise.
Yeah we go out for birthdays and that is about it anymore.
Divebars that are close and live music are the only thing that bring me out anymore.

Oh and Tittybars but that's a whole other expense.....

I can't imagine anyone would go to the hassle of bagging a dingo for $25, but Banana Benders are an odd bunch.

I wouldn't bother for just one. However if i encountered a pack. Whack 'em and stack 'em.

Banana Bender sounds dirty. Funny but dirty.
