KFC really isn't cheap anymore. I went there the other day with some friends and was aghast at the prices. We left and went across the parking lot to the grocery store and got a big platter of fried chicken and a tub of slaw for less than half the price.

That’s what I’m talking about!

In Australia a meal is like $12 (about $8 USD) and we don’t have to tip.

I guess that’s the opposite problem of having an overly sensitive sense of pattern recognition

I set em up, you guys knock em down.

You can probably get that for much cheaper and better quality from your local grocery store chain’s deli.

When I still worked in an office, the grab and go section at the grocery market really helped me cut down on food costs/expenses. I use the grocery story grab and gos on roadtrips too. Bathrooms, massive food and drink selection (with alternatives to pop), good quality and at better price than you’d get from any fast food chain. Publix, Big Y, Meijers are all favorites for me.
