I'm a klutz and knocked dinner on the floor so we decided to just go get Wendy's(not to worry, it came out of fun money!) DH wanted an extra chili and sandwhich for tomorrow too, so the total for everything was $22. Holy shit. One, having an actual budget for spending money, that hurt. Two, Somehow I thought we were saving money before? By eating fast food instead of like a restaurant or something. But we're eating for A WEEK now for a little over twice that. And we spent that on one meal(ok, two, since he's eating some tomorrow too).
It kind of blows my mind how fast my perspective has changed.
Fast food isn't cheap. I never understand where people swear up and down that they save money eating out several times a week by eating fast food...um, I can make a great meal with leftovers for lunch the next day for less than $4. Try feeding two people two meals on $4 with fast food.

Yeah...fast food really is not all that cheap. I know so many people that think it is cheap only b/c they have no idea how to cook to feed a bunch of kids, so they take them and get dollar menu and think they're saving tons of money. Nope.
