If I'm working I want the fast part. But it surprises me how little

served, real plates, actual food.....





If you're still able to find it for $21, you are doing OK. Seems most

of the time now it is $30+. Not difficult to hit $50 either.



Hmmm,

Eating out? We never go to a fast food joint to eat junk food.

Respectable eatery costs ~100.00 per person including tip at least.

Going on a cruise is another option. There are all kinda good deals

since economy tanked.


A meal at a respectable eatery costing $100+ per person
is your idea of a good deal? I didn't see anyone here talking
about high end restaurants. Sure, you *can* spend $100 a
person at a high end restaurant. Nothing wrong with that.
But that isn't the typical dining out experience I'd bet
for 100% of the people on the newsgroup.
