I ate brunch about 6.5 hours ago, and I'm still not hungry. In my 'eat every 4 hours' world, this is a minor miracle. Actually, not minor.
Any ways, I accomplished this feat by eating brunch/lunch at a German buffet with DH and my mom. For $8.95 plus a drink each, there was kraut and schnitzel and bratwurst as far as the eye could see. Red cabbage with apples, home-made mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy that was good enough to make you smack your mama. No, I didn't smack my mama, but the gravy was good enough she would have understood if I had!
And to top it all off, they had apple pie. Not Mrs. Smith's feux pie (HA!) in a box, I'm talking homemade 3 inch thick pie with a flakey just-right salty crust and candied crumb topping. Holy crap, I almost ate myself sick on pie!
In retrospect, considering the 2 plates of food and piece and a half of pie, perhaps I did get a good deal for $8.95!
Not Frugal, But Worth It!

I eat only once a day, but when I do, I can tank up.
It took a little while to get used to doing this, but it's only because I was trying to eat cheaply.
Some day, I'm going to have to (and want to) break this habit and eat normally.
