Tony Realizes That Taco Bell Is Cheaper Than Home Tacos
July 3, 2005

I realized that Taco Bell is cheaper than "rolling your own!"

Last week, I went to Cub Foods and bought a pound of hamburger (85%), a head of Romaine lettuce (which is currently the same price as a head of Iceberg...water with some cellulose), a bag of shredded cheddar, a packet of Taco Seasoning, and a bottle of green hot sauce. The bill? $16.92!

Granted, I had two episodes of amazing damn tacos from these ingredients. But each feast cost me $8.46.

I just went to Taco Bell and got 8 tacos, and I got 8 packs of Fire Sauce with my order, and it cost me $7.18. And I was really full when they were all gone.

Which tasted better? Tough call, man!

But going to Taco Bell is actually cheaper. That is my whole point with this story, too.

P.S. When I was working at The Edgewater Best Western, I ate 19 Taco Johns tacos just to prove that I could with my manager, Dan. He actually picked them up for me and had the Taco John staff weigh them, and they each weighed exactly 2.2 ounces. I ate 42 ounces of tacos just to prove that I could. Dan actually paid for all of them...that was the bet! I was really full! But I swear I could have eaten about two more if I was inclined.
