I've seen that water spout on top of the stove in the newer kitchens now. It looks like it would be convenient for filling up pots to boil but it isn't that big of a deal to walk it over from the sink.
Yeah, it's more for looks than function.
I buy beef 300 pounds at a time, works out to around $3 per meal.
I'm weird about budgeting and stuff, my average meal is around $7 made at home. And I eat some amazing food. Just received some salmon and halibut from Alaska, 50 pounds.
People in this country are lazy as hell and will pay twice as much as if they bought in bulk.
Invest in a high-quality freezer for the garage.
No excuse for eating terrible food because you are cheap and lazy.
