Over pricing!

When traveling, it's convenient and also it is good to really bring your own food. sometimes, there may be no bus stops and if there are, you may experience "over-pricing". I was able to experience this one a while ago. I didn't have any food to eat. so i decided to buy a burger from the "burger man". i chose a cheese burger, also a bottle of distilled water. I gave a 500 peso bill and he gave me 420 peso change. I unwrapped the burger and to my surprise I saw a very thin slice of cheese and a 15 peso worth of burger patty. at a normal price the meal would've been around 15-25 buy-one-take-one pricing. but the bus stop prices made it double (considering the price of the bottled water also included in the 80 peso price). I thought to myself, next time i'll go for my usual package of snacks while traveling.

In the past, my plastic bag full of food when I travel is composed of a bar of chocolate, two bags of sour and cream and cheese flavored potato chips, a bottle of water, a pack of cookies, and a handful of candies. this pack makes me energized throughout the travel and also prevents me from overeating when lunch comes. The caloric content of these are at a high dose so i suggest you can share it to a companion or maybe if your traveling alone, you may look at the pack's nutritional pack and compute some.

To prevent over pricing, buy your snacks at a separate time before traveling. God bless on your next trip!
