Eating On A Budget

I try to remember to stop at Publix on my way home every Wednesday.

Wednesday is five dollar sushi day at Publix.

Five bucks for a tray of four or eight (depending on the type) is not bad.

There are some things I would rather do without than do it on the cheap. Sushi is one of them. It's like getting them from a gas station grocery store.
I don't buy sushi from Costco either.

So aunt-in-laws, for parties, always make a whole mound of various sushi. Seeing the sheer volume takes my appetite away and I don't eat any of it.

For $5.99 I'll eat a large Domino's two-topping pizza. To each his own, I suppose.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Gas Station Sushi costs less.

Publix sushi is pretty good for basic sushi. Publix fried chicken is the only game in town!

You need the BP prescriptions after eating the fried chicken!!!! It is good and you always eat too much of it.

Their sushi on the other hand I can leave, it's ok, not great by any means......and I'm certainly not going looking for it.

Sushi? I'd rather starve!

Their chicken tenders are awesome, though.

Publix has a little old Asian man that goes around to all the stores here, and he makes the Sushi fresh in store, every day of the week.

You can give him special request and he will hook you up. And its as fresh as can be, having been made 5 minutes ago. Its a good buy.

Then just throw the leftovers in the fridge. When you're ready for more, nuke 'em for 30 seconds or so to take the chill off and you are good to go.

Sushi is the polite term for bait.
