What is no longer worth it because of how expensive it has become?

@akindheart that was a great idea, we didn’t buy food at the drive-ins. I don’t even think we brought snacks. When we’d go to the restroom past the concession stand at intermission time my mouth would be watering from the smell of the foods that they re selling there.

@cherokeepatti what i was trying to say is that the popcorn was not fresh at the drivein. they made it, put it in garbage bags and then put them in the popper to warm up!

@akindheart oh OK. They did the same for the football game days at the university. I remember some workers coming into the office before clock-out time carrying a bag of popcorn to snack on, they’d been working helping get the stadium ready all week before the game and told me the concession people were making popcorn starting on Monday before the game & bagging it up. There was no way they could have made it all on game day.

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays Not sure what you mean. If I decide they aren’t worth the current cost, why would I turn to crime to get them?

@Colonelmustardseed If you turn to crime, that's free money that you can spend on Cheetos. Plus you get a chance of free room and board in state prison. Win-win! 🤣

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays They’re not [i]that[/i] good.

@eventtemple123 you mean you'd prefer to be homeless with current housing prices? If not, housing is still worth the costs, although it's certainly getting ridiculously expensive.

@Nitedoc [b][c=1F5E00]BEST COMMENT[/c][/b]

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays Thank you very much.

@Nitedoc It was clever.

@Mamapolo2016 It’s rare I go to a convenience store. I used to go at least a couple times a week for fountain drinks etc. That’s just money frittered down the drain.

@cherokeepatti Yep. Uncharacteristically, I now plan ahead.

@SStarfish Like there was ever a time when Netlix was worth it? Seriously? Netflix? 🤣

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays i used to watch a lot of their shows and series but now im all into youtube..

@SStarfish Wise decision.

@Tetsuya The 50k figure was the tab a woman told me her hospital charges came to. I don't think she was lying. A couple who were hospitalized for 2 weeks for Covid said their hospital charges came up to $250,000. Why would they lie? Insurance picked up the tab also.

@sree251 I am sure your friend could have been charged those prices but that is outside the norm

@Tetsuya Once we are born, we need an education for earning a livelihood. This is another big chunk of cash. A bachelor's degree won't get you anywhere. You need a masters. Then, you need a roof over your head. Getting a job is dicey. Keeping it till you pay off your debts is not a sure thing. Is life worth living?

@Nitedoc i have never been a big fan of manis and pedis. always did my own but with the price increase, i am more than determined to do my own.

@akindheart Oh, I gotcha.

@akindheart possibly you could find a freelancer that is doing it at her home with half the price? Well back home that's what people were doing..

@empanadas How much are you paying for tamales?

@sree251 free from the Mexican homie

@empanadas Your wife makes them?
