Since the pandemic, my sister and I on shopping days (Fridays) have stopped going out to our favorite mexican place and eat at my house. If we go to another town for my sister's doctor's appt, we hit Perkins as right now they have a special cheeseburger with fries and a piece of pie for just $9.99. Neither one of us can eat that burger with fries as they give you a nice helping of them so we ask them to split the meal in half which they are very happy to do and then we just order another piece of pie. Can't go wrong with that meal at the price. Also whoever drives, the other one pays for the meal so we're splitting the cost of going to another town. No, we're not cheap, just frugal plus we know where we like to eat.
