6. Usually about $6 bucks or so, but I think the better question is how often does one get a burger? I used to get quite

a bit, as well as Taco Bell stuff, but I slammed the doors shut on this expensive 'fast food' that seems to have no end in sight, for the constant onslaught of price increases.

That's okay w/ me/us, I've been fixing more meals at home, fixing our own footlongs, and other 'long' sandwiches, etc. And just getting tired of 'hamburgers', although once in a great while, two whoppers (one for each of us), when we used to get six or so sandwiches (keep the others on hand for later meals), but no longer.

Once you get into the routine, it's not so hard.

Lee's once in a while (six months or so), but the livers and gizzards that I get, are so greasy, and being organ meats, aren't so good for you.

Arby's I do like, and I haven't been able to totally recreate their sliced beef, which I love, so I do tend to frequent Arby's more.

Substitutes: Crock pot meals, w/ either dried beans of some type, a little meat, or just plain veggies (soups). Cold meals include cottage cheese, which is pretty good. A 1/2 of one of these large containers of cottage cheese makes two meals for me.
