Ingles (the grocery store) has $5-7 hot plates, 1 protein + 1 veggie and a dinner roll for 5, additional sides are 99c a piece.
If you like "asian" food or typical southern soul food, they load the plates up for you. I typically get enough for 2 meals in one plate. A veritable mountain of chicken shoved into a takeout box. Is it stellar food? No, but it's fresh, plenty of good veggies to choose from and their fried chicken is on par with KFC for a fraction of the cost.
They have a vegetarian plate and fish options as well.
For those days you'd like to splurge on takeout. forgot your lunch at home, or just don't have the energy to cook, it's a nice option readily available for folks who are near one.

Wow! Nice find. At my local supermarket, $5 literally gets you end-of-day sushi (sometimes). Hot plates are in the $12-15 range iirc
I have a few of the stores in my area. That food isn’t worth even the cheap price they put on it. It is the most Bland crap ever. It’s only purpose is so you don’t starve to death that’s it.
What did you get here? Looks like 1 protein and two sides? Or mashed potatoes are a veg?
