Carrollton Resource: Cheap(ish) Family Sized Take Out
Let's get it out of the way for the pedantic out there: cooking at home will always be the cheaper option. Sometimes, though, you don't want to cook. It's been a busy day, or you ruin dinner, or you are just not feeling it. Let's not go there, that's not what this is about.
Also, yes, pizza is a thing. We all know there's pizza and fast food family meal deals. I am looking to suggest other options beyond your typical fast food.

They have buy 3, get 1 free for banh mi sandwiches for $15. You can walk out of there with 4 sandwiches and a smoothie for $20. They also have a bunch of snacks and sides.
Bonus Tip:
If you've never had an avocado smoothie, try it. It doesn't taste like avocado, but it's very very filling.

For around $25, you get a whole roasted chicken marinated in killer spices and falling off the bone tender, a pile of fries, and sauce. Beyond the cheap option I'm posting this for, their other food is great too. The beef heart skewers are done in a fantastic marinade and then grilled.
Note, if you get them delivered, their fries tend to be a little unsalted and undercooked. If you crisp them up (I've deep fried and air fried) and hit with salt, they're great. Haven't had this happen when eating in the restaurant, but it's universal delivered so I almost wonder if they mean for you to do that...?
I'm all ears if folks have other options!
