While fast food can be a quick and readily available option for dinner on the go, or a tea time minus the washing up - more and more people are deciding to take packed lunches or cook from home due to the current climate of inflation.
The cost of living crisis is still still a huge concern with energy prices sky high, public transport tickets off the rails, and grocery costs burning a hole in our pockets - so splurging on meals at KFC, McDonald's or Burger King is a luxury many are cutting out.
However, fast food is still a perfectly viable option regardless of the strain on your bank account - and can sometimes even work out cheaper, should you know deals are to be had and when you can grab them.
