I had a dentist appointment today and then was going to the gym to sign up and work out and I needed to get some food in me. I went to a popular restaurant next to the dentist that has a salad/hot food/ Chinese food/ sushi by the pound type of place. I typically avoid this type of food but I remembered they always have steamed fish and chicken. (Probably some msg thrown in haha).

To measure my steamed fish, they have the 1 ounce salad dressing cups so I just put some fish in it multiple times and tossed in a little chicken piece. I added some steamed eggplant because they charge more for all meat. Very tasty.

The grand total was $2.25. Hahaha. Before when I went there after the dentist it would be like 10.00 since it is 8.00 a pound. Man have times changed.

I've always been cheap to feed and easy to entertain........cheap and easy!

For me a crunchy taco at Taco Bell or a chili at Wendy's seemed to work well. Or go to Texas Roadhouse and order a large steak, take most of it home and have leftovers for a week.

It is almost embarrassing how cheap dates have gotten. My girlfriend doesn't eat much, and I sure don't. We have gotten into the habit of splitting a plate. I don't drink when I eat, and she just has Water sans ice.

I was thinking about starting a thread on this theme but you beat me to it.

Think about it...if I go out by myself, I take home my left overs and get 2 additional meals out of it. So if I spend $30 on average for dinner...Before surgery, three days = $90. But post surgery, 3 days is $30, saving me $120 a week, or $6240 a year. I think this should pay off my surgery in a year in food savings. As I do my taxes, I'll see if that math holds true, but for me that is pretty dang close.

Wow $90? Pre op we would order huge meals and rarely spend more than $40 at a restaurant, unless it was sushi

He said three days of dinners would be 90 dollars.

Thank you. I always get concerned I might have made a math error.

Nevermind.

Haha that sounds better
