We sure did! Back in the 80s and 90s it was McDonalds Fries and 7-11 Slurpees! Wendy's chili and frosties. Cheap, snack foods were popular.

+1 and I had an afterschool job so I rarely ate at home anyway. Sometimes we'd go out after work too.

I love this!

to the OP: be glad your DD is willing to sit with you at dinner instead of rushing off to play video games. *glares at my DS*

Just wrap it up and if she’s hungry she can eat it later or the next day for lunch. No big deal.

Oh my gosh, we spent so much time at Wendy's and IHOP in our teens.

The dad in our family is famous for finishing random leftovers for lunch, so nothing gets wasted.
