How Cheap/Frugal are you
I have to admit it. I'm cheap. Not that I don't share with friends and family, but that I am always looking for the best deal.
I recently got very pissed at KFC. I was buying their 10 pack version of nuggets for someone and asked what sauces they had. The person informed me that no sauces were included and that each one would be 25 cents. Now I know that many fast food places set limits and charge extra now, but I also know that McDs would at least give you two sauces for a 10 piece nugget order. I also can guess that each of these sauce tubs probably costs them 5 cents in bulk, which translates into a %400 profit. Maybe they should stop selling chicken and just sell sauce tubs.
