Eating when traveling

[luvrbus]

When on the road how many eat in restaurants vs cooking?, the price of food now is just outrageous in the stores, last night at Safeway eggs where almost of stock @ $9.00 a dozen. I can buy 3 bacon,egg,and cheese biscuits for $10.00 at Carl's Jr, lol eggs for breakfast are off the menu around here I am not paying $9.00 for a dozen eggs.This shortage BS needs to stop lol I may need to map out all the senior centers when planning our trip just to eat

Temporary surge. 3 dollars a dozen here. With everything else going up, not surprising. Have you considered raising a couple of chickens? Anyway, how long does a dozen last? Still cheaper than a jug of oil.

I paid 3 bucks a dozen before in Alaska,eggs were $.59 cents a dozen here 2 months ago,egg producers are blaming the price on bird flu, feed prices and demand me I blame it on greed,the trend now is non caged eggs,how do you know a egg came from chickens running loose from an egg producer,so called non caged eggs were $9.79 a dozen at Walmart,Sonja is big into the organic stuff me I cannot tell the difference between a organic banana and regular banana only in price lol the organic turns black just like a regular banana

I agree eggs are expensive almost as much as the bacon & sausage. We hardly ever eat out. When we start out for an AK trip the bus gets packed with foods & staples a whole bunch. But we do go to Fast Eddies in Tok occasionally!

Last two summers, we ate in 75% of the time.

We eat in the Bus 90% of the time. Eggs here are $289 to $3.00 a dozen. Kansas just stopped the food tax for the first time. We were used to California because it has never taxed food.

How we do it is we mooch off friends along the way. Which house you gonna be at in Feb?  Its looking a little dodgy to come home through Nogales - maybe you could go to Texas?

Very few states tax food,here in AZ the state has no tax on food but some greedy cities like Scottsdale add a sales tax Phoenix doesn't (yet).In CA I don't get the 10% tax on a SubWay sandwich if you have it toasted, The little girl told me the tax is for prepared food I had to laugh and tell her aren't you making the sandwich

Rarely eat out while travelling or stayin the bus. But we are not long distance, long time trippers. For those moving a lot, it might be easier to grab a meal on the way. Hell, I'm eating a bowl of noodles and I'm parked in my yard. LOL
And you are right . fast food used to be fast and cheap, now just fast.

Just to put the food security issue into perspective, we can complain but our bellies still hang over our belts. There are many parts of the world in a true starvarion mode. Availability and prices have gone nuts there; Ukraine is a breadbasket to Europe and it aint working too good these days

Noothing to do with toasted Clifford it is anything you buy put together. Raw food no tax. Prepared food taxed, LOL

They never charge me and extra 10% unless I have it toasted at the Subway in the Dairy Queen in Needles,they charge tax on burgers there, all the restaurant foods everywhere in Needles charge tax 
.
Got it Dave I called the owner CA does not charge tax on a cold sandwich only on a hot sandwiches that makes no sense you prepare a cold sandwich too     

[Dave5Cs]

Doreen said that is correct. I learn something, lol Anytime an appliance as in cooking or toasting it is taxed but not if it is cold and just put together. Weird.

[dtcerrato]

Any "cook" food but I'll bet restaurants charge for salads!

[Dave5Cs]

Well if the salad is part of a meal then yes it is taxed but if it is just a salad probably not. Just guessing there.
