[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg the coolers taken to the beach. Could we just eat out. We're on vacation![/quote]

Yes! Why does a 3-hour car trip require a cooler of sandwiches and a sad half-jar of pickles? Can we please just go to Wendy's? [/quote]

We pack lunches because it's expensive to eat out even when it's just Wendy's.  That $25 may not be much to you but it is to my family and, perhaps, to your parents.  Yet, if I can save $15 by packing lunch, i don't have a problem spending the money saved on ice cream or something.

Call it Depression Mentality if you want but there's nothing wrong with being thrifty and frugal.[/quote]

I have no problem with bringing food to eat on the road. I have a problem with accepting and bring expected to feed my family, which is also her family, things that I am sure have been held at incorrect temperatures for hours and may end up making us sick for the visit. She also checks to see if sour cream is expired by eating some off the top, rather than just reading the expiration date. Yuck![/quote]
