Ahuh; besides a few spices and a little whole grain, most of their expenditure was water! With limes? for scurvy on the side...

Yep. When traveling by car, the old ice chest is the way to go. We hit the grocery store before we leave the cost of two huge freshly-made Italian subs (easily enough for four people), plus chips, cookies, and a case of sodas comes to less than the price of four of roadside fast-food burgers and Cokes. Plus we get to eat it at a beautiful rest stop or on the tailgate instead of at a crowded, noisy, and often dirty fast food joint.
There are some unique eating places on the back roads worth stopping at (the Koffee Kup in Hico, Texas comes to mind), but if one is traveling by Interstate, there’s no reason to waste money on the same Hurl’s, Jr. or CracDonald’s junk one can get at home.

LOL, I already told you it was an ‘interesting’ ping!!
Funny looking at those families and what all they eat. They seem to have left out the extremely fat people that abound now!!
