When I was first married, my wife asked if we could go on a date. even if we were married. So I conceded, taking her to a movie & then to McDonalds. It cost me a total of $9.75 for the dinner & movie (1971). It hurt, but she was happy.

Buying food at the grocery store is much more now as well.

Prices are brutal

This is offset though by much fewer mean tweets

I usually bring my lunch to work, but that doesn’t mean I leave an hour earlier each day.

Exactly. But a 10 hour day is less than an 11 with lunch.

You sure showed all those millenials complaining about the price of restaurants!

My brother and daughter are millennials. I don’t recall making any comments

Acorn

Your brother and daughter?? That sounds about right

Mom had 8 kids. Brother was the youngest. He is in the first millennial year

Like I said, sounds right. Very Mormon

That’s my mom for sure. Have you ever heard the joke,

Acorn

Ah ok. So “you guys”

Mike Honcho

You guys eating out every day. Are you one of them? You have it tough.

You should work on that chip on your shoulder. You continue to project

Acorn

How much are you spending for lunch when you eat out?

WJCougar

4/16/23 9:43am

Yup, grab roast beef sandwich and slider for about 8 bucks at Arby’s.

When I forget my lunch it’s Wendy’s biggie bag for $5.

Acorn

I'll get cheap tacos at Del Taco some days.

I rarely eat out at lunch anymore.

I applaud your whining and victimhood today. Top notch.

At least you are consistent. It’s called ridicule. Good. You took it personal.

Acorn

How many threads have you started this morning about interest rates and consumer

vagabonder

Three or four. I’m bored and I like toying with you.

Costco is about a mile down the road. Soda & a hot dog FTW.

Eddie

The rotisserie chicken is a great deal too.

Acorn

4/16/23 9:08am

Assuming you have no health issues. Lots of excess salt there

Nat Gas Man

Seemed better than a hot dog?

Acorn

4/16/23 9:19am

You’d be surprised

Nat Gas Man

4/16/23 9:20am

I am. I eat the skin too, so that makes it even worse.

Acorn

4/16/23 9:27am

The salt isn’t the issue

Classic Acorn self righteous brag.

Nakedbootleg

4/16/23 9:22am

Sorry. I missed the brag. Where was it?

Acorn

4/16/23 9:29am

The part about how you work through lunch and spend more time with your family

Nakedbootleg

My youngest brother is so frugal none of us are even close

Acorn

$20 for lunch? You’re eating at the wrong places.

There's a corporate cafeteria walking distance from my office. Daily specials are $7.50

jdub

Those are awesome to have. Great Perq. You can also do it very quickly

Acorn

4/16/23 9:32am

Yeah, total time, including the walk over and back, is usually about 40 minutes.

jdub

4/16/23 9:34am

Plus great collaboration with other employees. I think the subsidy

Acorn

We have 4 cafeterias on plant and one in the same building I sit at. It’s super
