Bruce, I have found that I can buy a cooked meal in a diner for just about the same price as a crummy meal at a fast food joint. Have you priced chicken lately in a restaurant? To get enough fried chicken at a KFC to feed my gang, it costs nearly $40. McD food is just as expensive. Went to Chick-fil-A the other day for a meal for the grandson - $23 to feed a 10 year old kid.
It isn't a matter of affording it - I'm just about sick of making the fast food places rich out of our family budget. We could have steak and lobster every night cheaper than eating at fast food joints.
Just as a comparison, I can get a full course breakfast at one of the local diners for about $7.50. Eggs, sausage, home fries (double on the spuds) toast, and beverage. I leave a $10 to cover the wait staff. Dinner amounts to under $12 including the senior discount and comes with more food than I can possibly eat. To get a comparable amount of food at the local fast food place would cost near $40.
Whenever I find discount burger, I stock up as much as I am allowed to but without batting an eye! I have no idea what is wrong with people today when it comes to food.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
