Is the DFAC worth the meal deductions?

While I love the dedication of our cooks, I am compelled to part of a cadence:

They say that in the Army the coffee's mighty fine.
It looks like muddy water and taste like turpentine.

They say that in the Army the chow is mighty fine.
The chicken jumped off the table and started marking time.
They say that in the Army, the biscuits are mighty fine
One rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine

They say that in the Army, the meat is mighty fine
Last night we had ten puppies, this morning only nine


They say that in the Army, the pancakes are mighty fine
You can try to chew them, but you’re only wasting time

I was on my own long before I joined the Army, and now that I'm in the barracks here, I can't say I've ever eaten at the DFAC without essentially being forced to. Too many people. I just buy groceries and eat once or twice a day. I'd really rather that than have to deal with the noise, lines, majority of food I won't/can't eat, and unwanted conversation. That's IF we get to eat. If the BC has something planned she definitely doesn't take meal card holders into consideration, which the majority of people are. It was really fun trying to rearrange all my bills though with the extra deduction coming out.

Edit to add: And I don't eat dinner at 1700. My grandparents do that. It's weird. Almost two years and it still doesn't work for me.

No it is not worth it. $380 is taken out for food a month. They only serve breakfast and lunch during the weekdays. The weekends, DFAC is closed. What ticks me off even worse is that the barracks rooms comes with a fully equip kitchen stove, oven, fridge and sink. I'm able to buy a months worth of food for $250. They will not let me opt out of the meal card it ticks me off so much.
