How much is $12.79 worth? I went to Robertitos Taco Shop for dinner last night and had 3 shredded beef tacos, a little bit of rice, a little bit of refried beans, and a bottle of Juarritos mandarin orange soda - all for the grand total $12.79. If a person was to eat that meal everyday, it would cost them $383.70 per month. Now granted, the taste is spectacular, but for $12.79 I should be able to stuff my self to gills for that amount of money. I was nowhere near full when I walked out of there. Maybe I'm old fashioned and $12.79 is not alotta money no more.
