The burgers on a real plate and all are 1/4 lbs. Not 3 oz. They are 3oz after cooking though. And the thing is, you can't buy a quarter head of lettuce. So bump all those partials up to full units you can buy. Cause many will have the unused part thrown away. Then don't forget the cost to cook it. Propane, or charcoal, or whatever. And you need something to clean all the dishes and utensiles... we can call the cost of the dishes and utensiles a wash though, just about everyone uses those all the time. But the grill... toss about $5 toward it. The cheap ones don't last long, and you need a flipper and such. Now the big thing you are skipping is the time. Time to go to the store, time to prep. Time to cook, and the worst one usually... time to make a meal plan that includes this before hand, rather than just going out to eat when you haven't planned. And in some families... one or more persons won't eat the damn burger, so you have to make something else they will eat...
Don’t forget that you gotta pay the mortgage and bills to have a roof over your head and the lights on too. You don’t wanna be eating your burgers outside in the dark.
Also true. So safe to say, you cannot get everything you need to make 20 burgers for $25.
Oh yeah, better factor in you parents entire lifetime earnings because without them you wouldn’t be able to be there eating that burger!
