    Here’s a scenario I run into every time it’s warm enough to grill: I go to the meat section of the grocery store and I see a package of steak for $7-8 dollars, and I won’t buy it. I guess I think about how much my groceries should cost each week, how $7-8 is a lot for one grocery item, and so on, Then, just a few days later I’ll go to a restaurant and see a steak for $12, and think to myself “oh wow, that’s a great deal!”

    I’ll never understand why my brain thinks it’s a better deal to pay more for a steak for me than for a steak dinner for my family, but I run into this a lot.

      Haha that is so true! It’s similar to how you will drive across town to save a few cents on gas but wouldn’t do the same to save a few dollars on anything else.
