Message: <blockquote data-quote="T. MIKE SMITH" data-source="post: 4263654" data-attributes="member: 44552"><p>I worked for a drug co from 87 to 2005. Started as a project manager going around the country remodeling old mom/pop pharmacies. I was single when I started so almost everything I ate was in a restaurant, cafe or fast-food joint. Close to 2000 I got sick of eating out and if I was driving, had to fly sometimes, I would load up an ice chest with a stick of Schwab's bologna/salami- cheddar cheese- pickles- olives- pickled okra- crackers, and eat on that stuff several times.  I would also pack some beer and after driving 400-500 miles or working all day on a remodel, I would just hit the room and crash with the stuff I took and a cold one. Sometimes on a remodel I would go do that at lunch just to get away for people for a while. It can be intense when you turn a country drugstore upside down reworking everything. Today, I have to be drug out to eat. Prices are terrible. And yes, groceries are up, but I can fix a pork chop, chicken meal for 3 for $10-$12. Steak is more but I can still do that for $25. Try eating steak out with 3 people. It will be something chewy for $100. I buy Hamberger when it's on sale and get reasonable price buns- onion- lettuce- tomato- mayo- mustard and cut my own fries from potatoes. Hamberger for 3 $10-$12- even McDonalds is $20-$30 bucks for 3 Big Mac deals.</p></blockquote><p></p>
