Seriously! I need to stay away from eating out. What the heck is it going to take??? I am so sick of the BAD prices, LOUSY service and YUCKY food!! Yet I keep going!! WHY?? Today I made my kids go to Chili's for lunch. They did'nt want to. They begged for McD's and should have gotten home cooking!! The food was terrible and I did'nt check my bill and got RIPPED OFF!! I'm thinking I need a little device that gives me a shock every time I think about eating out. I guess my July goals should be my new budget and NOT EATING OUT! (Of course it does'nt count if someone else is paying!! Mom and dad are taking us out to eat tomorrow night! )
Do I need electroshock therapy??

Anyway, so I met my friend there for lunch one day thinking that at least it would be cheaper at lunch. Well it wasn't. Like $13 for Salad Bar and a soda. At least there was room to walk around.
They closed are favorite restaurant on the river which was pleasant, good food, good service, and replaced it with some awful place too. Can't win!

Baselle is right, we should pack snacks for those emergency times out and I do try to plan around meals. In this instance it was a special day out with my SIL and neice with a trip to the museum and lunch. McD's is what it should have been - for the kids.
And Monkey mama hits it on the head with the squished in sardines for sure! Much to Jan H's dismay I'm sure! Everyone is out paying too much for lousy service and food.
It's almost like being addicted to the holy grail. You are searching for that one perfect place (like Julie found - lucky duck!) and that one perfect meal, only to have your hopes dashed time after time.
But I do think I need to take Greyroma's advice and write Chilis a letter. I was overcharged and the food was NOT good! I was ripped off and I should'nt sit down about it!!

Although we did walk out of a restaurant that gave us water and didn't come back to take our order for 30 minutes. Well, they never came back, and we walked out at 30 minutes.
