No way! If you told me in 2008 that a taco bell taco was going to be $3.65 I would have looked at you like you shot my dog.

      lol! I just looked on the website and not through doordash. My buddy lived in Kansas City for a while and they still actually had a dollar menu. Instead of the big mac index, he looked at the taco bell index for cost of living.

              Daily. I would make a loaf of sandwiches twice a week and have one every couple hours.

              I was out west and there was this one chain of discount grocers that felt like a casino to me. There were these like gas station pies with this battery-acid-tasting lemon pie that were a godsend. 800 calories and 80 cents. As a recovered binge eater with a weird complex about it, it was liberating to need to eat so much junk food. I tried to eat really healthy at the start of the trip and my stomach couldn’t handle it; I was in the 0.01% of cases where my candy intake actually needed to increase for my health :p
