If you are like me its likely that you have seen the price of eating out get a little more expensive. For too many years I got used to eating out at Bill Miller's, Long John Silver, Pizza Hut or the Little Red Barn. I remember that as a college student living off campus we economized and relied on carne con fideo. The recipe was simple. You would brown the fideo, throw in some hamburger meat, unions and tomato paste. The cost of the yellow box was about ten cents back then and today its 29 cents. The box has not changed but the price has. Not only that, HEB has it on their shelves and it still shows a net weight of 142 grams. Well I compared a box bought a month ago with one bought today and although the weight posted on the box was the same, the contents were not. Thats all.
