Mine was yesterday, I bought a papa john's pizza of medium size and some garlic knots. I was feeling like shit because my job and store is very good at that, so I stress ate. I contemplated in the car which would've been more valuable for my buck to dine with. I picked pizza.

$20 (more like $27 but I took away the price of the knots) was what it cost for a meats-based medium sized pizza from there. The problem I had with the pizza was that it didn't look like a medium, it looked like the smaller-end of a medium. Secondly, the person cutting the slices did a shit job, because I had two smaller slices than the rest. And I felt there wasn't enough meats spread evenly.

I honestly should've picked a chinese buffet because at least I would have variety and I could eat as much as I wanted. Plus saving a few dollars.

This is the first and last time I'm ordering something out of my comfort budget.

I took a similar risk with Bean (a Lemmy app for iOS). It was all good for the lifetime of the company. Turns out, it wasnโ€™t very long.

Ah well we live and learn, I'm still very anti subscription though.

I always prefer one time purchases

Same. I already have two lifetime memberships with other companies, and they work just fine. No regrets.
