I grow my own potatoes, that cover my potato costs at home from July until December. That leaves more room in potato budget for McD’s hash browns all year long.
LOL. (I’m kidding, my budget for fast food is not set up around specific groceries or my homegrown veg)
I also get the hashbrown when it’s included, not à la carte. I don’t order fries at McD’s or other fast food places, so that gives me more cash for the occasional hash brown (or latke somewhere else).
I am going to keep track of how many times I visit McD’s between now and the end of the year. I probably get the breakfast closer to once a month. Sometimes with the hashbrown, sometimes without.
The hashbrowns I really want to try are the hashbrowns at Waffle House dedicated thread , but I haven’t been anywhere near a Waffle House since June 2019.
