But I have a paupers salary.
I got COVID tested today. It was in another city but only a 25 minute drive. I didn’t have time for breakfast but afterward I stopped at my old stomping grounds and walked into the first restaurant I saw.

I didn’t know the name or what kind of food they served. It was a pretty fancy restaurant and I haven’t been here for awhile and I had forgotten how pricey everything here is. It’s a marked difference from the city I live in now. I’m preparing for a medical procedure and I can only eat a few things. So I ordered plain beef to go. No seasoning or sauce, just plain beef. It was going to take 15 minutes so I got a coke and sat outside to wait. After awhile I went back inside to pick up my meat.

$42 friggen dollars! For a small bowl of meat. I kept my composure and paid the girl and left. I can’t afford that. That’s way out of my budget. Oh well, live and learn.

Yeah, meat is expensive but that is just ridiculous. I bought 3 12 oz. ribeyes at the grocery store for under $30 a few days ago…so that is just a outlandish price for a small bowl of meat.

I ordered it medium rare and it was a little too rare. It was good though and now I’m full.

Yeah, we buy the large chunk and cut our own, drops the price by about 85%. We can’t afford to buy the individually packaged ones. Meat prices be crazy.

I agree that money and bills cause a lot of pain. But then for me money was not the most important consideration. I would have been successful and I would have had a lot of money, if it weren’t for this disease.

When I say the title, I thought king Henry might be back!

Sorry about the shocking meal price. I hate when that happens to me. That is absurd even for most places I’ve been to in NYC

Here in Britain its lamb season. Roast lamb is the best. 1kg leg of lamb is £13.00, so around 16 US dollars, I heard lamb is expensive in the US and rarely eaten. only rich people eat it. Here it’s really popular.

Yeah, it’s expensive here. I don’t know why; there’s millions of lambs here. I rarely buy it but it is less expensive than a New York steak or Filet Mignon.

I love filet mignon bbq, we have it when its on special. I like it much more than lamb, I like my filet mignon juicy but not undercooked.
