    You do realize that major world wars have been started over less offensive statements than this, right? :biggrin_25519:

    Seriously though, I try to eat in the truck as much as possible also. I had an inverter/microwave combo in the last truck but decided to not use them when I switched trucks recently, so I bought a lunch box cooker. Only had it a week or so now, but liking it so far and it takes up much less room. I also use a 12 volt Coleman cooler, which I have at the house with me now (replaced the fans yesterday). We will see how this combo works out.

    I just feel like I can get a much healthier meal in the truck as opposed to a truck stop. I will, however, tear into a Subway sandwich without thinking twice (when I can find a Subway).

    I'm guessing they have to make up for the triple reward points I have been getting, $22.= 2 fuel stops about 350 gallons. but that includes a $10 bonus for reaching 300 gal.

    You should see the plastic bags the soup comes out of at panera bread. Same kind of soup that's in the pot at the truck stops.

    On the bright side they are tiny, which limits the damage.

    By making most of my meals in the truck (Not all, I splurge once in a while) I save on average $20 a day. Multiplied by an average 5.5 days a week X 50 weeks a year equals about $4500.00 per year. I eat a better, more nutritious meal and save money too. You bet we work hard, even more of a reason to save money to get to retirement a few years faster or have more cash in the IRA when I do get there. All depends on your priorities, different stroke for different folks. :biggrin_25519:
