On a recent getaway we dined at the resort restaurant. Entrees ranged from $25-65 (vegetarian pasta to signature lamb chops), which I thought was reasonable for any resort area in the US.

However, the salads were over $20 with salmon, shrimp, or steak add-ons nearly doubling that price (e.g., $40 for a wedge salad with shrimp). Hopefully they don't skimp on the shrimp, but it seemed really off in terms of pricing, so I just had a bowl of soup for $8, which was absolutely delicious as were the lamb chops.

Um, eggs are back to the price they were before all the chickens were slaughtered.

My daily Whataburger breakfast with my friends:

Scrambled eggs (roughly 2), bacon, coffee (unlimited) = $2.92

But BTD! That’s a pretty good deal.

They’re a regular breakfast stop on roadtrips for sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit and coffee. But the scenery is better at the dive.

Jack in the Box has a platter for $6 and change with two scrambled, three bacon, a hash brown patty, and some silver dollar pancakes.

Of course, my usual coffee, oatmeal, banana, egg, and milk at home is fairly inexpensive, but even a hermit introvert needs to get out occasionally.

Though often that reminds me why I stay home.

We are stuck at Whataburger and sometimes have 12 - 14 old farts there in the morning, I'm usually second to get there (7:00 AM) after I walk my dog. They treat us good there and have for a long time. I'm not an introvert and need to be around people, which is why this single life is killing me.

It's been a while since I've bought Gatorade but had to buy some for an upcoming colonoscopy. The instructions call for a 64 oz bottle or two 32 oz bottles. Little did I know there were no 64 oz bottles at Walmart but what looked like 32 oz bottle were actually 28 oz. Shrinkflation again.

Sara Lee Whole Grain bread at Walmart jumped from $2.62 to $2.93. That's about a 12% increase since my previous trip.

I buy boutique-ish bread and eggs anyway, which are sold at inflated prices to begin with. Many things I buy regularly are store brands, so it balances.
