Well!

I usually have cereal for breakfast, I woke up a little later than I expected! So Dunkin Donuts was open at truck stop I was at. 2 apple fritters and a medium coffee + a $2 tip cost me $15. I was going eat in the restaurant last night, a cheeseburger and fries tax and tip mostly like $20 to $25. A regular meal and $7 to $10 more.

Thanks again Trump!


I guess Campbell and frozen meals for lunch and dinner for me! I can’t afford a lot of home cooked meals?

Was sick this last week, so one night I ordered pizza delivery. Was a good real Italian restaurant Pizza and I got my wife some Tiramisu, but after fees and tip, I spent $50 for a medium pizza and a desert.
