    My rig doesn't have a fridge. I would definitely pack better tasting and better quality food than these crap establishments have if so. Have told friends and family that I could save more if I had a fridge. And they will say get a cooler. But our trucks are pretty small. So no room for an electric cooler.

    I bought this thing last year for $15 at walmart and have been cooking with it every single day on the road, it runs fine off of my 2k watt inverter.

    I like to do prison recipes on the road before ever going to a restaurant.

    1/4 bag of fresh veggies
    2 packs of ramen (enough water to soften ramen no more)
    1 can of Chili
    Fresh Cheese
    Sauce of choice


    All accomplished with an electric pot.

    I mean you can get creative and make meatballs too with Sausage and Cheese as the binder.

    emergency meals would be around $7 total.

    All of them are charging stupid prices anymore. I stopped at a Whataburger at the Shell fuel stop in Atlanta, Tx the other day. Was going to get a Patty Melt until I saw the price. $10.79 for just the burger, not the combo. No way

    Until folks stop paying for this, it will go on.

    That's about right. Welcome to 2025. I spent $15 at Arby's for a med hamburger combo
