July bill just hit: $387. For a 1,600 sq ft house. Thermostat set to 76. I'm on a fixed rate plan, my house is relatively new, and I keep the blinds closed during the day. Still getting wrecked.
Been here about a year now. There were things I expected — the heat, the big trucks, the BBQ obsession. All true.
I've been here long enough to know which stereotypes are BS and which ones are dead on. The big trucks one? Absolutely real. Every third vehicle on the highway is an F-150 or bigger.
Groceries are up. Rent is up. Insurance is up. Gas somehow went down and then right back up. I make more than I did 3 years ago and I feel like I have less money.
I know HEB is the correct answer on the internet. But I want to know what people actually do week to week. I end up at Kroger because it's closest to me.
Three months in. Some observations from someone still adjusting. - Everyone drives everywhere. I asked a coworker if they wanted to walk to the restaurant across the street.
I've driven in a lot of states. Texas is on another level. Nobody uses turn signals. Everybody tailgates. Pickup trucks doing 90 in the right lane.
I need a solid breakfast taco spot. Not a sit-down brunch place charging $16 for two tacos on a fancy plate.
Before y'all come for me — I've eaten there plenty of times. It's fine. The patty melt is good. The honey butter chicken biscuit is legitimately great. But the regular burgers? Mid. The fries?
Every time I stop at Buc-ee's I spend $60 on stuff I don't need. The beef jerky wall is mesmerizing. The bathrooms are immaculate. The brisket sandwich is solid.
Looking to plan something for a long weekend. Done the usual stuff close to home but want to go further out.
