What are you insinuating? Of course, people eat there. If you're going to get inexpensive pizza or a hot dog, why pay more? And the rotisserie chickens are good quality and genuinely very cheap, though they are supposed to be taken home.
Occasionally. (I'll take non-members there to shop, then we'll get something for immediate consumption.)
After spending $51 for 3 small burritos and 2 chicken & rice soups @ Norte's, I deserved a deal. And this was "to go..." Do this 40-50 times a month, and you start talking about some real money. (After-tax dollars too, so it's even more costly.)
For a "somewhat decent deal" I'll patronize TipTop Meats. I like their quality of meats, mostly.
There used to be a restaurant at a mall 30 minutes away, it was named Bucca di Peppi. I’m not sure how it’s spelled. One plate could have easily been shared by 2 or 3 people.Not saying it was super cheap but the quantity was definitely the plus factor. That is, if you were heading home and able to put the saved amount into a refrigerator.

Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant
Still around is some cities.
It is hard to eat there as people need to agree on the dishes ordered. Otherwise, if not sharing extensively, there is WAY too much food!
We got Chinese the other week and had enough food to last for days. (We are Senior Citizens ) I actually ended up throwing food away because i thought it got too old. (Bought 2 specials and one regular order.)
Same thing with Mexican food we got from a great Mexican restaurant a few days ago. Got two meals and ate 3 times, and still had some left.
Neither one are places we use. If it does not taste the very best - why are you buying iy?
When I get takeout, sure, I'll go to the best-tasting places for the most part, but when you want to save some $, Panda Express is pretty good sometimes.

Caesar chicken salad isn't a bad deal either.
Then, there's all the smoothies and berry frosty things for a buck.
You know, it doesn't "cost" to join a membership, it "pays."
Yes, those $4.99 big chickens are good.

I have one of those Italian places not too far from me, but nevr tried them before.
We love the orange chicken at Panda Express and so do my grandkids and actually most of the family. I never thought of it as being a good value for the money. We would gain weight if we got it all the time, it's like eating a dessert.
"Most food for your $" means a huge plate or plates (if this is a buffet) of cheap, overprocessed junk.
Huge portions are never associated with quality food.
It's a simple profit calculation.
Most people who prefer eating biggest meals for their $ are the cause of epidemic obesity.
Not my way of frugal living.
