Hey they rightfully claim it is 100% beef. They never said a word about how much of a burger is MEAT though. It all comes from SOMEWHERE on a cow...

What? Gotta do something with the testicles. They can't just throw them away can they? When they grind all the bits up real fine you can't tell the difference.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.... My sister eats there all the time. I wouldn't eat their food for all the money in Ft. Knox. lol

So many ways I could respond to this question... and get flak in response.

One relatively safe thought: Frugality is okay with her... at least some of the time.
Ok...i kinda agree..on FIRST FEW DATES ..no coupon..after that..ok...especially if its a more expensive place..

Nope..just not cheap! Lol..remember..im the one that said a great romantic date can be a picnic???
Actually, a picnic is not a bad idea for a great romantic date. Of course, you would have to invite someone who is romantically inclined and open to the idea and possibly brunch later at some cozy secluded spot.

The college kid Melita would be all about the coupons! We knew where the deals were in town lol.

When husband and I were dating, we didn’t go to fancy places. But if we had coupons, we sho gonna use them lol

Beef = Cow. 100% Beef = 100% Cow... as in... 100% of the cow. :censored:

Most more expensive establishments around here don't offer coupons or deals. They have good food and people are willing to pay full price for it. Most of the time they are well established too. I usually only get fast food coupons in the mail. I like getting them because they make date nights with my daughter cheaper! Hehe

The only thing that would make me raise an eyebrow would be if he was making it really obvious that he was using a coupon. Knowing me though, we'd probably have already discussed stewardship (the kind that nearly crosses over into "obsession", lol), so he could be just making sure I knew that he had listened when I told him that saving money is a good thing to me.

Good for him or her to use a coupon. Food is food but time with a new friend is priceless. 🙂

"Next time, we should ask about surplus food, before wasting a coupon!"
