Maybe it's just a Delaware thing but BK here is cheap AF
I mentioned this yesterday but a Whopper Jr and fries is only $3. Just a burger from Wendy's or McDo will set you back $4 or more
That said, I don't eat at any of these places to begin with, I just notice prices on billboards and signboards and shit

You laugh, but I've bought frozen pasta in sauce like pictured, probably Aldi, not TJs, and it was chewy good fresh pasta, and when you saute it in a skillet, it gets nice texture as the sauce returns to liquid. Seriously not bad small late night meal for one.

I've been buying a butternut-sage pasta sauced ravioli for literal years,not sure the brand, but the sauce comes in ice cube sized chunks in the bag that melt into sauce nicely. It only needs a little fresh parm or splash of cream.
