I think I'm with TIS on this... there's plenty of wonderful meals out there w/o spending a whole week's allowance.

I've over-paid plenty for meals in the past, and I've also had even BETTER meals for much less.

There's a little hole-in-the-wall pizzeria close by me that has GREAT food!! (And I think I said it once before, their pizza sucks - but - their entrees are GREAT!!!)

I wouldn't hesitate taking a date there.

There are only a handful of places in my area I could say that about.... and [insert DMC "date" joke here ]
