I’ve splurged on a really nice meal maybe a couple of times a year since 2008. Prior to that year I did that several times per week, but it was expensed through my business. The price of a good steak is startling, a really nice filet is close to thirty dollars now unless you get the petite. That’s just too much money. I’m starting to sound like my dad, lol. Live and learn, sometimes you come by tightwad habits the hard way I guess.
I haven’t had steak for over 2 years now and even then it was at an Applebee’s (some can debate the steak, LOL). And that was only because I had free gift certificates that had been passed on to me.
But, thank God, I eat just fine.
This week made BBQ turkey slices because sliced turkey was on sale at the grocery store for $4.99/lb (not super cheap but OK). Made a sauce of onions, butter, soy sauce, ketchup, BBQ sauce and paprika.
Goes well with my BBQ beans made with the same stuff except diced pepper and bacon.
Maybe I’ll make it to Outback for one of their Walkabout Wednesday specials one day. Like $9.99.
When we’re in the mood for nice prime steak, I get some from Costco and we make it at home.
