I realized that Taco Bell is cheaper
than "rolling your own!"
Last week, I went to Cub Foods and bought
a pound of hamburger (85%), a head of Romaine lettuce
(which is currently the same price as a head of Iceberg...water
with some cellulose), a bag of shredded cheddar, a packet
of Taco Seasoning, and a bottle of green hot sauce.
The bill? $16.92!
Granted, I had two episodes of amazing
damn tacos from these ingredients. But each feast cost
me $8.46.
I just went to Taco Bell and got 8 tacos,
and I got 8 packs of Fire Sauce with my order, and it
cost me $7.18. And I was really full when they were
all gone.
Which tasted better? Tough call, man!
But going to Taco Bell is actually cheaper.
That is my whole point with this story, too.

P.S. When I was working at The Edgewater Best Western,
I ate 19 Taco Johns tacos just to prove that I could
with my manager, Dan. He actually picked them up for
me and had the Taco John staff weigh them, and they
each weighed exactly 2.2 ounces. I ate 42 ounces of
tacos just to prove that I could. Dan actually paid
for all of them...that was the bet! I was really full!
But I swear I could have eaten about two more if I was
inclined. |
