In microeconomic theory, an agent gains utility from consumption and has a willingness to pay. If a normal product has a higher price than the willingness to pay is, he will not consume that product. He will consume another product.
I am not sure if I shall laugh but you are suggesting to ignore the willingness to pay and just pay whatever the price is because your utility from dining out is incredibly high.
You can easily substitute food at a restaurant. Food at restaurants is mostly not even good anymore. You are doing yourself a favor if you do not consume their ultra high processed food.
Also, you may have enough money to spend as much as you want for a cup of coffe but there are people, most people, who can (or should) not afford a cup for 5 bucks because buying a pack for 8 lasts all month vs 150 if consumed every day.
Craving is a very bad state for the mind. Becoming free of craving gives you more than consuming all the shiny stuff that you see all day long, everywhere.
