is that so bad? It's cold, but perhaps true...
If $18 is affordable to you but $20 isn't, then perhaps $18 isn't affordable anymore. But, save up aside for special moments.
Friends have asked me "which car do I buy? this one is less practical, but this one drinks more fuel I don't think I can afford all the gas. Both cost $25k"
"Buy a car worth $20k".
That said, I think that Winnipeggers have a very low perspective of their own wealth, because it turns out we all have thirsty trucks, snowmobiles, pay thousands to put our kids in hockey and all have a cabin at a lake... but going out for dinner is expensive.
That might simply be a reflection of our priorities, and is totally cool... because I like being outdoors yet have no interest in saving up for a cabin. I like a good dinner instead (ironically a far worse investment over time).
Others who don't have all those things still measure the affordability of a meal by what the whole of Winnipeg does... and a chunk of the whole of Winnipeg has all those toys. So a $15+ meal is expensive just because...
