LMAO I'd pay just about anything to get a haircut again

We only eat out on date nights or birthdays, etc.

My wife is an excellent cook, and I enjoy helping her prep.

Profit.

And its basically the same here, fast food prices are COMPLETELY out of control, I can easily spend $20 at Taco Smell or wherever else if I really wanna stuff myself with crap

Yet if I just plan ahead a little bit and call ahead, I can go to our best Mexican joint and get a monstrous chimichanga, fajita platter etc with rice, beans, sour, guac, salsa and a large bag of fresh made chips for $15-16

Good hearty real food, its two meals if you want it to be... I wouldn't be complaining too much about $18 in the city
Yeah, big city but big prices for Mexican food? What, some rice, beans, a couple of tortillas, low grade beef/chicken and some salsa and sour cream adds up to $18.00? Good thing the chips are free. A while back they tried charging $1.00 for a chips and salsa refill and the customers practically burned the place down.

I'm hoping it isn't.

Pretty much the same here; when we ARE able to go out it's only a few times a year so I snatch the check before my wife can obsess about the bill.

I have to look into that. How long you been using it?

Nope. Lifetime guaranteed.

Gotta throw in the labor too, if I lived in Scottsdale I wouldn't think twice about $18 if the food was solid

Even our only good Chinese place here in my one horse town has raised their prices through the roof, and its STILL a far better value in terms of freshness, consistency and quantity than anything in the fast food realm

Outside of that your best bet is to cook at home, and I do love cooking so it helps keep food costs down... but sometimes one simply doesn't wanna dick around in the kitchen

Used it for about a year. Been worth it for the cheapo shit.

I'm struggling to find any type of decent razor fade under $40 here.

First place I tried timed the session so ol girl flew through it. Didn't even get my ears or eyebrows. I'm in my 40s, I need my barber looking out for my ears and eyebrows :cuss:

I'm driving further to a chollo place on Friday so we'll see. At least they'll be cool and know what they're doing.

hopefully in 3-5 years food will be too expensive for the average person to afford. That seems to be most people's goal.

:eek:

sweeet! good luck!

Rule of thumb in a new town:

barber
mechanic

There’s a sizable portion of the going out to eat consistently crowd (fast food mostly) that prices really have always priced out yet they still go.
