Can it possibly be that at one time in my life the above only cost $1.25???? Am I that old or am I so old I got the amount wrong?  |
Wifey and I went to a local bar near campus the other day for lunch. This place used to have cheap burgers and fries. You could buy a side basket of fries that was plenty for two people. Two burgers and a basket of fries used to run about $12 there. We hadn't been in a long time, so we decided to go back. They no longer sell the side basket of fries. You have to order fries as a $3 extra when you order your burger. We were pretty surprised at how few fries you got for your $3. And the burgers got pricey. Two McD's sized burgers and the small fries sides cost $28 before a tip. Yikes. We won't be eating there any more.
I kept thinking about "Burger, fries, and a Coke and change back from your dollar." Those days are long gone, I guess.
