I don't eat out much....

[skyhightree1]

I don't eat out much never really went to fast food places that is. I have to eat ever so often due to stomach acid issues and I was out longer than expected so I decided to get my favorite tea and a large fry from McDonald's the tea 1.00 cool the fries were 4.18 ...WTF I could have bought 10# of potatoes for that. I guess I'm getting old and think about that stuff more.

Sounds like you ordered a bucket of fries.

That's cheap.

We were hauling calves yesterday and wanted a little snack for ride home. I ran in to a gas station while we were getting fuel to grab a little thing of chex mix.... $3.xx. I would have gladly paid $4.18 for a burger and drink. I usually keep summer sausage or dried sausage sticks in my I've chest but forgot. They are like $4-5 /# to have the processor make but it a way better value.

When I was traveling to oilfield boom towns it was nothing to pay $20 for a basic meal. A hamburger, fries and drink would be $10-15. Pre-made salads or sandwiches or any thing like that at restaurants/ gas stations were $10-15.

Fast food meals have gone up about 20% I think. Drinks not so much, but the food has and the pieces are getting smaller... KFC has gone up a little in price, but the broilers are smaller now and they are picking them up at the houses sooner so not as much growth. They are all going up. I eat out less and less... and try to remember to take stuff in the car for work.... so I can eat on the way home when I am hungry or tired...
Gone back to making my own sun tea in a gallon glass jar too.....although McD's tea is usually cheap enough....you pay for it in the increased food prices.

I like my tea unsweetened with nothing in it. McDonalds is really sweet, it will almost curl your tongue up......lol Be careful if you ever take proton pumps as a lot of research is not positive for long term use. Sky have you ever had your gallbladder checked as that could be problematic?

I eat at home or take out from home. It is 30 miles to the nearest place that sells food of any kind.

I drove 16 hours today delivering a trailer and took everything I ate or drank with me.
But stopped at a truck wash and paid 43.40 to get a pickup and bumper hitch trailer washed.

Yes sir I don't take the meds all the time because of that. I just alter my diet. I had my gall bladder removed in 2018 and have a really slow digestive system so I eat small frequent meals.

I have 2

I'm the same way. I can put a yeti or othe brand ice chest on back with ice, gatorade, water, whitetail summer sausage, snacks etc and still save money. I buy all my drinks in bulk at HEB. Snacks are bulk also but mostly meat from deer we kill. Basically dont buy any thing from a gas station but fuel. I do eat DQ or Subway from time to time but a lot of time I get just a burger or wrap... no fries... some times a drink. I will pay for a good homestyle cafe. It's amazing how much money per month you can save.
