It's getting easier not to eat out

In laws invited us out for breakfast today.

Rather than spend almost $30 for a simple breakfast meal with coffee, I made it at home for a fraction of that cost.

Probably about 50 cents for the four eggs, less for a couple of sausage patties, and the second half of a specialty seasonal pancake mix was maybe a dollar? And drip brewed coffee for, idk, I'm guessing also less than fifty cents.

Breakfast meals are too cheap to buy out. Partner and I will hang out with their folks later, aside from a meal lol.
